Sample the country's most tantalizing tacos paired with equally inventive tequila-inspired cocktails—from seasoned food writer and libation enthusiast Katherine Cobbs.
Tacos have been trending for years, and finally tequila is having its taco moment. While a crunchy, savory beef taco washed down with a frozen margarita is always acceptable, today the inspired options for what can be stuffed in an edible wrapper or blended with agave spirits are infinite.

Behind the bar, the burgeoning array of top-shelf tequilas and mezcals available hold their own—and even outshine—liquor mainstays like vodka, gin, and bourbon. The ubiquitous tequila shot with requisite salt and lime chaser can't compete with the complex, nuanced flavors of the finely crafted blanco, reposado, and añejo tequilas and smoky mezcals that deserve sipping and savoring.

Featuring authentic classics like Tacos Al Pastor and Baja-style fish tacos, Tequila & Tacos also includes entirely new spins on the taco—such as fried Brussels sprout tacos, spicy cauliflower tacos in Indian paratha shells, or tempura-battered seaweed tacos cradling ahi tuna—paired with uncannily delicious cocktails crafted with the finest agave spirits, like a traditional tart Paloma cocktail rimmed with spiced salt or an eye-opening Mezcal Manhattan. Curated from bars and taco stands around the country, this book is a must-have for the taco and tequila aficionado.

      Cobbs (Around the Table; Martina's Kitchen Mix) provides a coast-to-coast compendium of the best local recipes for both tequila and tacos. The author begins with a quick rationale of her love for the duo, followed by a helpful explanation of the history and differences between mescals and tequilas. Next is a rundown of the different styles and taco fillings, including a glossary of traditional meats, Mexican cheeses, and peppers, which is helpful not only for following the recipes but becoming a more informed taco connoisseur in general. Following the introduction, readers are treated to a cross-country trip spanning Seattle to Miami and everywhere in between. Chefs and mixologists from more than 20 restaurants share their best tequila or mezcal cocktail recipe, as well as their featured taco dishes. There are standard recipes (using beef, pork, or fish), as well as vegetarian options, brunch, and dessert tacos, and creative shells made from injera bread and fried nori wrappers. VERDICT Readers ready to experiment with tacos and their accompanying tequila cocktails will appreciate these delicious, easy-to-follow recipes and tasty cocktail pairings.--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis
