On a cruise ship I was on, there was a brand of mescal being served called Scorpion. Instead of a worm in the bottle, there was a small scorpion.

Mescal made by fermenting and then distilling the abundant almost weedy agave plant ,which despite it looks is more closely related to the lily plant than the cactus. For the product to be labeled tequila the Mexican government says distillers (150 of them ) must make their liquor in Jalisco or portion of four other Mexican states. They also have to abide by certain guidelines such as using only a strain of agave called Weber blue. (protects the name).
