Is Don Julio tequila the one that has the worm in it?

Answer by  Heather2020 (24)

Mezcal, similar to Tequila, is the only brand to be associated with the "worm". The worm is the larva of a maripose worm, which feeds on the agave plant.

Don Julio tequila does not have a worm inside it. In fact, "tequilas" that have worms are not considered to be "tequila" by the Mexican government. The best tequilas do not have worms, adding a worm is more of a tourist-attraction thing.

Different brands of what is usually called "tequila" may have the worm at the bottom. The worm is employed in mezacal, which is a lower grade of tequila. It does not confer a special taste to the drink. Its really just a publicity gimmick.

In actuality tequila which is used in many drinks including the popular margarita, does not have a worm in the bottle. Worms can be found in a liquor similar to tequila called mezcal. This beverage is made from the maguey plant, which is similar to agave. Mezcal is also stronger than your typical tequila.
