MEXICO: The Art of Tequila and Mezcal

Mexico: The Art of Tequila and Mezcal 

A journey through Mexico, told through agave, its people and the places that shape it.

Part travel memoir, part cultural exploration and part celebration of one of the world's most vibrant drinks cultures, Mexico: The Art of Tequila and Mezcal takes you on the road through the landscapes, communities and traditions behind tequila and mezcal.

Written by Emma Murphy, co-founder of pioneering London agave bar Hacha and the now-iconic Mirror Margarita, the book draws on years spent immersed in the world of agave. From the blue agave fields and historic distilleries of Jalisco to the family-run palenques of Oaxaca, the bars of Mexico City and the people preserving centuries of knowledge, it reveals a Mexico that exists far beyond the bottle.

Across 288 beautifully designed pages, vivid photography and first-hand storytelling sit alongside encounters with producers, bartenders and some of the most influential voices in tequila and mezcal. Along the way, discover the history and craft of Mexico's agave spirits and the stories that give them their extraordinary sense of place.

For the first time to be collated and available in print, the book also includes 25 signature Hacha cocktail recipes - bringing a taste of its award-winning creations to your home.

A book for travellers, cocktail lovers, agave enthusiasts and anyone captivated by the spirit of Mexico.
