About the Book

Tequila and mezcal offer a depth of flavor that goes far beyond the standard margarita—and this collection shows just how versatile agave-based cocktails can be.

Organized by season, the recipes follow the natural rhythm of the year and highlight ingredients at their peak. Spring leans bright and citrusy, summer turns refreshing and bold, fall brings warmth and spice, and winter delivers rich, comforting sips perfect for cooler nights.

Along the way, readers will find clear guidance on selecting the right spirits, using essential bar tools, and incorporating simple homemade elements like infused syrups and fresh garnishes. Each recipe is designed to be approachable, whether you’re building your home bar or expanding your cocktail repertoire.

With a balance of time-honored classics and inventive new combinations, Tuesday Night Tequila makes it easy to explore agave spirits and elevate your week—one drink at a time.
