From the traditional margarita and its hibiscus, Cadillac, and mezcalita brethren, to a wide range of delectable cocktails, such as the Oaxacan Dead and Levitation, the recipes in this book are fun to create--and even more fun to drink! "It's only a small book but packs a lot of different recipes in, and definitely made me want to go one step beyond my usual standby recipes. It's also a book you'll enjoy reading for the little introductions to these agave cocktail recipes. And I love those colorful and lively illustrations!" --Travel Distilled "A fun book written by someone very passionate about the spirit with fantastic tequila recipes." --Monsters & CriticsAuthor Biography
