Cultural Writing. Latino/Latina Studies. Travel Literature. A warm and funny travelogue that delves into the drinks and related culture the authors discovered in their many travels throughout Mexico. Unlike typical travelogues, LIQUID MEXICO shows how distinctive spirits such as tequila and mezcal came to play a prominent role in Mexico's culture and how they now fit into the nation's intriguing culinary and social environment. Each chapter focuses on a specific beverage as well as the region of Mexico most associated with that drink. As Youman and Estep sweep you along on their spirit sampling, they regale you with tales of travel adventure and interesting people they met along the way. Publishers Weekly's starred review called the book "seriously entertaining armchair travel."
