Notes


`Tequila slamming has long been a popular pastime in bars the world over, and tequila`s enduring image has previously been that of a rough and ready spirit, consumed only by cowboys, brawlers, gamblers, gunslingers and students.

However, all this is changing with the worldwide surge in popularity of Mexican restaurants and bars and the discovery by discerning drinkers of the complexities that are to be found in the finest of aged super premium tequilas. Tequila sales are soaring, with bottles being exported to more and more countries. An entire tequila culture has developed, not just in Mexico but also in the smart restaurants of New York, the studios of Hollywood and the hangouts of the brokers of London, Frankfurt and Tokyo, and tequila is already being reconsidered as a sipping drink to be savoured on its own or enjoyed as the base for long, cool drinks. As more of us become aware of the enormous range of flavours and styles of tequila so the need for a book such as this becomes apparent.

An evocation of the spirit of Mexico, the country where tequila is grown and produced, this delightfully visual book is a valuable companion for anyone interested in tequila, from the first time consumer to the devotee. It offers an informative and anecdotal journey through the drink`s history, clearing up any misunderstanding about the `tequila worm`, as well as providing lively descriptions of tequila`s legends, heroes and songs. Stunning photography and specially commissioned artwork combine with a light-hearted text to grab the reader`s attention.

At the back of the book are orginal tequila recipes, such as salmon marinated in tequila and mushrooms with guajillo chile, as well as more traditional cocktail recipes, from the classic Margarita to the ecological Bloody Mary. A new professional rating system is featured of more than 100 of the top brands exported from Mexico, as well as a list of nearly 100 bars and restaurants around the world which specialise in tequila, from glorious margaritas to the smooth-sipping super premiums.`
