Tequila: A Tasting Course

Story

Tequila starts in the fields, where jimadors harvest blue agave by hand, and it owes a debt to the bats that pollinate the plant in the wild. Millie Milliken's Tequila: A Tasting Course covers all of it: the agave, the harvest, the differences between blanco, reposado, and añejo, and the spirit's history from the Aztecs to Mexican Westerns. Then the tasting begins, region by region, with notes on the flavors to look for and the right glass to drink from. It closes with cocktails, including Milliken's tips for the Margarita, Paloma, and Tequila Sour. It's bound in lime leather, a color that practically asks for a wedge on the side.
