MEXICO CITY (AP) ? Forget the salt and lime, you'll need a mint to enjoy this tequila.
Producer Tequila Ley .925 announced Saturday that it has sold a bottle of Mexico's best-known beverage in a gold and platinum casing for a whopping $225,000.

"This is a really unique bottle of tequila and our client, a U.S.-based collector of fine wines and spirits, will treasure this prize to add to an already impressive collection," said company CEO Fernando Altamirano in a news release. The buyer's name was not disclosed.

Altamirano said he is applying to the Guinness Book of Records claiming he has sold the most expensive bottle of liquor ever, but the book has to ratify the claim.

Tequila, made from agave, a blue cactus-like plant native to Western Mexico, sells for as little $10 a bottle and was traditionally the drink of farmers and laborers.

However, in recent years its profile has risen dramatically and it has gained fans on all corners of the globe. Earlier this month, UNESCO added the blue agave-growing region to the World Heritage list.

The record-breaking bottle was part of a new range of luxury tequilas unveiled by Tequila Ley last week. Named "Aztec Passion Limited Edition," it was cased in 4.4 pounds of gold and platinum.

Damn..It would be like a thousand a shot

tequila is by far my favorite liquor. i love it all: cabo, patron, cuervo (even black), hell even rail

It is more than a thousand a shot, since there is less than 250 shots in the bottle :warning

the tequilla soposedly tastes like shit and is low quality but that bottle kicks ass

tequilla is the best and goes vodka.
