Agave dates back to the Aztec civilization as an important crop in Mexico. Since the 1600s, the people of western Mexico have cultivated blue agave from the red volcanic soil that blankets the region, to make what we know as tequila. The Spirit of Tequila celebrates the tradition, culture, and myth of this iconic drink. Joel Salcido traveled across the state of Jalisco capturing images of distilleries and artisanal tequileras, including blue agave fields at sunset, the agave's pineapple-like centers (piñas), elegantly shadowed barrel rooms (añejos), and, of course, the agave farmers themselves. Nearly ninety photographs, taken with a medium format camera—some in full-color, some in duotone—reveal not only the tequila making process but also the region’s traditions of culture and religion. Haunting and beautiful, a church spire is juxtaposed with a firework celebration in honor of the Virgen de Guadalupe. A Mexican charro rides through the streets of Arandas. Near Atotonilco, a horse pulls a traditional plow through the fields to irrigate. Exploring the rooms and techniques hidden in the distilleries of legendary tequilas Herradura, Sauza, Jose Cuervo, Don Julio, and others, The Spirit of Tequila celebrates a craft that is rooted deep in the culture of Mexico.

“This fascinating, well-written book explores how tequila has come to symbolize what it means to be Mexican . . . A must read.” —Choice ¡Tequila! Distilling the Spirit of Mexico traces how and why tequila became Mexico’s national drink and symbol. Starting in Mexico’s colonial era and tracing the drink’s rise through the present day, Marie Sarita Gaytán reveals the formative roles played by some unlikely characters—such as the revolutionary Pancho Villa, who was himself a teetotaler. She also shows how tequila’s cultural status was shaped by US-Mexican relations, the tourism industry, shifting gender roles, technology, regulation, film, music, and literature. Like all stories about national symbols, the rise of tequila forms a complicated, unexpected, and poignant tale. By unraveling its inner workings, Gaytán encourages us to think critically about national symbols more generally—especially the ways they both reveal and conceal—to tell a story about a place, a culture, and a people. In many ways, the story of tequila is the story of Mexico.

Once little more than party fuel, tequila has graduated to the status of fine sipping spirit. How the Gringos Stole Tequila traces the spirit's evolution in America from frat-house firewater to luxury good. But there's more to the story than tequila as upmarket drinking trend. Author Chantal Martineau spent several years immersing herself in the world of tequila -- traveling to visit distillers and agave farmers in Mexico, meeting and tasting with leading experts and mixologists around the United States, and interviewing academics on either side of the border who have studied the spirit. The result is a book that offers readers a glimpse into the social history and ongoing impact of this one-of-a-kind drink. It addresses issues surrounding the sustainability of the limited resource that is agave, the preservation of traditional production methods, and the agave advocacy movement that has grown up alongside the spirit's swelling popularity. In addition to discussing the culture and politics of Mexico's most popular export, this book also takes readers on a colorful tour of the country's Tequila Trail, as well as introducing them to the mother of tequila: mezcal.

"¡Tequila! The Spirit of Mexico in a bottle! Its flavor is as melodic to the mouth as a mariachi tune is to the ear, and Lucinda Hutson captures that spirit with more than 150 festive food and drink recipes, peppered throughout with fabulous folk art, historical facts about tequila production, and colorful personal anecdotes. Inspired by her life-long fascination with all things Mexican and based on years of tireless research, this book is not just a great source for cooking and entertaining, it's also a compendium of tequila information : its cultural history and origins, how it is made, who makes it, and who makes it best. Filled with fiesta fare extraordinaire, '¡Tequila!' goes far beyond the familiar margarita! As a gift -- or a sensuous treat -- try making the heady, fruit infused liqueur known as Para Mi Amante (For My Lover), or wow a party with a knockout Piñata Punch. Dazzle dinner guests with Gazpacho Macho, Drunken Cowgirl Beans or Queso Flameado (a melted cheese dish flambéed with tequila), and create a fabulous finale with Jalapeño Carrot Cake or an elegant Citrus Flan. An armchair tour of Mexico's kitchens and cantinas, this book is sure to satisfy any appetite (and yes, there are margarita recipes -- more than a dozen of them, from classic to kiwi)."--

"Divided Spirits tells the stories of tequila and mezcal, two of Mexico’s most iconic products. In recent years, as consumers increasingly demand to connect with the people and places that produce their food, the concept of terroir - the taste of place - has become more and more prominent. Tequila and mezcal are both protected by denominations of origin (DOs), legal designations that aim to guarantee a product’s authenticity based on its link to terroir. Advocates argue that the DOs expand market opportunities, protect cultural heritage, and ensure the reputation of Mexico’s national spirits. Yet this book shows how the institutions that are supposed to guard 'the legacy of all Mexicans' often fail those who are most in need of protection: the small producers, agave farmers, and other workers who have been making tequila and mezcal for generations. Divided Spirits suggests that we must move beyond market-based models if we want to safeguard local products and the people who make them. Instead, we need systems of production, consumption, and oversight that are more democratic, more inclusive, and more participatory."--Page 4 of cover.

Tequila celebrates the Mexican distilled spirit. With a taste profile unlike any other distilled spirit, tequila can be paired with a multitude of flavors or imbibed more as a sipping drink as with the new wildly popular high-end tequila. There is a misnomer that tequila is reserved for the margarita cocktail and tequila shots, when the spirit is really far more versatile and can be paired with innovative flavors to create sophisticated drinks. Tequila includes information on tequila production, its history and culture, stocking the tequila bar, 90 cocktail recipes developed by the author, the pros and cons of using a margarita mix vs. fresh mix. Plus sidebars on appellations of origin, reading a tequila label, tequila flights, world records, and significant achievements involving tequila.
