中文简介:
本书介绍了龙舌兰饮料的鉴赏和40多款鸡尾酒配方,这些鸡尾酒是墨西哥菜肴的理想搭配,也是跳舞狂欢的理想能量来源。这种酒精饮料是由龙舌兰植物的发酵汁制成的,与梅斯卡尔类似,这种饮料具有复杂而轻盈的口味,非常适合用于制作鸡尾酒。高质量的版本正在变得越来越容易获得,特别是对于那些挑剔的鸡尾酒饮料者们——简单的规则是龙舌兰的含量越高,质量越好。跟随专家杰西·埃斯特斯(Jesse Estes)学习龙舌兰饮料的经典配方。你可以从经典的玛格丽特鸡尾酒开始,例如粉色石榴或绿色草地,然后尝试一些口感更加丰富的鸡尾酒,例如芙蓉高球。如果你偏爱一些浓郁苦涩的口感,不妨尝试一杯堕落天使,或者享受龙舌兰斯马喜。最后,释放你的狂野一面,来一杯火山下鸡尾酒吧!
