Enter to win a shot glass and a copy of ¡Tequila! (actual tequila sold separately).
Italy has grappa, Russia has vodka, Jamaica has rum. Around the world, certain drinks—especially those of the intoxicating kind—are synonymous with their peoples and cultures. For Mexico, this drink is tequila. For many, tequila can conjure up scenes of body shots on Cancún bars and coolly garnished margaritas on sandy beaches. Its power is equally strong within Mexico, though there the drink is more often sipped rather than shot, enjoyed casually among friends, and used to commemorate occasions from the everyday to the sacred. Despite these competing images, tequila is universally regarded as an enduring symbol of lo mexicano.
¡Tequila! Distilling the Spirit of Mexico traces how and why tequila became and remains Mexico's national drink and symbol, starting in Mexico's colonial era and tracing the drink's rise through the present day. Enter your name and email below for a chance to win a free copy of the book along with your very own customized ¡Tequila! shot glass (pictured above). Three winners will be selected at random and notified via email by the end of the week—¡buena suerte!
