Description

New Mexico might seem to be the land of a thousand Margaritas, but its distilleries and historic cocktails are complex enough to meet even essentially the most discerning palate. Cowboys and banditos alike distilled and drank their approach to infamy. Prohibition drinkers masked the questionable spirits with cocktails at local joints like the legendary triple-level speakeasy of Santa Fe that was once so secret, it had no name. Although the state had no legal distilleries for a couple of decades following Prohibition, Arturo Jaramillo created the quintessential New Mexican cocktail in 1965. When Don Quixote Distillery opened in 2005, it set the stage for a cocktail revolution. Cocktail enthusiast Greg Mays explores a boozy history spiked with anecdotes and garnished with over 100 simple recipes for the house bartender.
