Harald Gottschalk for Assouline
Another of van Flandern's books explores the best-tasting tequilas from Jalisco, Mexico, which he says are so refined they require no salt or lime to drink them. The book also features Casamigos, the tequila company cofounded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman.
The book has sixty tequila-based cocktail recipes, including six separate variations of the classic margarita — like the "Prickly Pear Margarita," made with Blanco tequila, orange curacao, fresh lime juice, prickly pear puree, and agave nectar. There's also the "Unencumbered Jalapeno Margarita," which has Blanco tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, cucumber wheels and, of course, a slice of jalapeno — no seeds.
