It’s the perfect accompaniment to a Mexican meal full of spicy flavours and the ideal fuel for dancing the night away. Made from the fermented juice of the agave plant, this spirit, along with its trendy cousin mezcal, has a complex yet light flavour, which is perfect in cocktails. Premium quality versions are becoming readily available, especially for the discerning cocktail drinker – the simple rule is the higher the percentage of agave, the better. Learn about the proud heritage of agave-based spirits from expert Jesse Estes. Start with a margaritas, choose from a Pink Pomegranate to a Greener Pastures, and then try something longer such as a Hibiscus Highball or Mezcal Mule.
