Tequila isn’t just about pounding shots. In her new book, Tequila: A Tasting Course, multi-award-winning spirits writer Millie Milliken offers an accessible deep dive into Mexico’s most famous drink.
Published by Dorling Kindersley, the book is a practical guide that demystifies one of the world’s most misunderstood spirits. Milliken takes readers from the agave fields to the tasting glass, breaking down tequila’s history, production and the people whose lives are bound up in it. Structured as both education and exploration, it introduces readers to tequila’s distinct regions, categories and the artisans behind its production, many of whom she met when she was researching her book in Mexico.
Tequila: A Tasting Course sets out to answer the questions Milliken once had when she was new to the category: What makes tequila unique and who actually makes it? And how is it perceived and consumed by the different consumers that drink it around the world?
