An exploration of tequila-based cocktails and stories from bars around the world.
Behind the Bar: Tequila transports you to 50 bars around the world and shares their tequila-based cocktail recipes for you to try at home.
Behind the Bar: Tequila contains tequila-based cocktail recipes from a collection of iconic, as well as new and exciting, bars around the world. Think along the lines of a Smoky Margarita from Barro Negro in Athens, a Paloma Margarita from Sabine Sabe in Oaxaca, or even The Gimlet El Maiz from El Primo Sánchez in Sydney.
The recipes range from simple to more labour-intensive, but all can be made by curious home bartenders. Along with the recipes, you will uncover the history and modern-day scene of tequila.
Written in an accessible manner, Behind the Bar: Tequila will appeal to cocktail lovers and history enthusiasts, as well as armchair travellers looking to explore the bars from the comfort of their homes.
