Mexican spirit from the agave plant (7)

I believe the answer is:

tequila

(Other definitions for tequila that I've seen before include "Equal it! (anag)" , "Cocktail -- 1988 American crime film -- equaliser units (anag)" , "Distilled agave drink" , "Mexican liquor made from agave" , "Quit ale for Mexican spirit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
