    About this ebook

    Tequila. Much can be stated for this spirit. Shots and thoughts of seaside beach resorts may come to mind. Others may think of a worm floating in a bottle and that tequila is only good in a margarita. This book is aimed at correcting all those misconceptions about this wonderful and versatile beverage. Derived from Agave, a distant form of this spirit was first developed by the Ancient Aztecs, and over time has evolved to what we now know and love as Tequila. In this book we: clarify myths, explain production methods, laws governing the spirit, aging and types. With over 100 definitions on tequila and related terminology, the history of this beverage will come to life and you’ll become an expert on flavors and what foods will pair well with this spirit. Tequila will never have a worm in it, but we’ll tell you which spirit does and the differences between the two!

    With knowledge on the many different types and flavors of tequila, one can be confident in making a selection, knowing how best to blend the spirit with other ingredients in cocktails or recommend for others to enjoy. Additionally, here we do what other books do not. We list, pair and explain which foods might be most complementary to a particular type of tequila! We teach it all, from actual production to flavors! How does this relate to the world of Mixology? Well, if a Mixologist is a masterful bartender, then they must know all about the related products and services in their field.

    With so much information in one book, a simple glance will make you an expert. Now continue on to learn and enjoy the wonderful world of tequila. No salt and lime for your shot after this book. Those are for beginners!
