Tequila is one of the fastest-growing spirits categories in America, the margarita the country's most popular cocktail. But no longer is it only cheap party fuel--it has become America's luxury sipping spirit. "How the Gringos Stole Tequila" traces this evolution. Martineau spent several years immersing herself in the world of tequila--traveling to visit distillers and farmers in Mexico, meeting and tasting with leading experts and mixologists around the United States, and interviewing academics on either side of the border who have studied the spirit and its raw material: agave. The book addresses issues surrounding the sustainability of the limited resource that is agave, the preservation of traditional production methods, and the legal constructs designed to protect tequila from counterfeiting. It examines the agave advocacy movement--made up of agave growers, distillers, bartenders, importers, and scholars--that has grown up alongside the spirit's swelling popularity.
