Drinks innovator, award-winning bar owner, and bestselling author Tristan Stephenson set out on an odyssey through Mexico and into the heartland of agave spirits production to discover the proud heritage of Mexican spirits. This irresistibly readable book is an epic geographical, historical, cultural, and spiritual journey in which he explores 38 remarkable agave spirits producers, tells their stories, and shares their philosophies. Inspired by the tales and tequilas he experienced on this transformative road trip, Tristan also offers a sampling of his recipes for agave spirits cocktails including a classic Paloma, a surprising Mezcal Martini, and a Tommy’s Margarita made with 100% agave tequila, fresh lime and agave nectar—the ultimate expression of the drink. Accompanying the engaging text, stunning photographs bring to life the landscapes, people, and places that have produced the spirits honored in this book.
