Even the world’s most fun drink has a serious side. Look beyond that naughty reputation and become an agave-based beverage connoisseur with this book that delivers 40 delicious, cheeky and surprisingly sophisticated cocktail recipes.
It’s the perfect accompaniment to a Mexican meal full of spicy flavors, the ideal fuel for dancing the night away and the liquid embodiment of fun summer evenings with friends—oh, tequila, it will make you happy! In truth, aside from its roguish reputation, this spirit along with its trendy cousin mezcal is much more than a good-time shooter. Both are made from the fermented juice of the agave plant, and they have a complex yet light flavor, which is perfect in cocktails. Premium quality versions are becoming much more commonplace, especially for the discerning cocktail drinker—the simple rule is the higher the percentage of agave, the better. Learn more about the proud heritage of agave-based spirits from tequila and mezcal expert Jesse Estes. Start with a whole chapter on Margaritas from a Pink Pomegranate to a Greener Pastures. Next up try something Long & Refreshing such as a Hibiscus Highball or Mezcal Mule. If you prefer something a little more moody, try Brown, Bitter & Stirred with a Fallen Angel or a Mezcal Red Hook. In Short Drinks, Sours & Sangritas, brace yourself for an Almost Famous or a Tequila Smash. Finally, unleash your wild side in For the Adventurous with Rags to Riches or an Under the Volcano.
