In addition to discussing the culture and politics of Mexico's most popular export, the book takes readers on a colorful tour of the country's Tequila Trail, as well as introducing them to the mother of tequila: mezcal.Once little more than party fuel, tequila has graduated to the status of fine sipping spirit.
