Legacy of the Aztec goddess
Tequila, mezcal, raicilla, bacanora, and sotol embody the Mexican way of life and drinking culture, and they have accompanied Hercules Tsibis in his years of work as a barman and mixologist. In this book, he explores the origins and history of these spirits, as well as the botany of their ingredients, and paints a vivid picture of the Mexican art of distillation – one that is respectful and deeply rooted in craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
His journey takes him through agave fields, to villages and towns, to distilleries and spirits producers. The encounters, conversations, and impressions he has along the way are woven directly into the text and images. In addition to the ever-popular margarita, Hercules Tsibis shares his recipes for around 50 outstanding fusion cocktails. It’s an unforgettable experience, a wealth of knowledge, and pure enjoyment at the very highest level.
Hercules Tsibis: is among the most prominent figures in the international bar scene. For over 40 years, he has worked internationally as a mixologist, entrepreneur, and author. As a ‘World Bartending Champion’ and internationally acclaimed ‘Master Mixologist’, he combines technical precision with cultural depth. His books and projects embody a culture of enjoyment with character, substance, and timeless elegance.
