Description
Book SynopsisEven 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 over 40 delicious, cheeky and sometimes surprisingly sophisticated cocktail recipes.
It’s the perfect accompaniment to a Mexican meal full of spicy flavours and the ideal fuel for dancing the night away. Made from the fermented juice of the agave plant, this spirit, along with its trendy cousin mezcal, has a complex yet light flavour, which is perfect in cocktails. Premium quality versions are becoming readily available, especially for the discerning cocktail drinker – the simple rule is the higher the percentage of agave, the better. Learn about the proud heritage of agave-based spirits from expert Jesse Estes. Start with a margarita, such as a Pink Pomegranate or a Greener Pastures, and then try something longer such as a Hibiscus Highball. If you prefer something a little more moody, try a Fallen Angel or brace yourself for a Tequila Smash. Finally, unleash your wild side with an Under the Volcano!
