From a clean shot of blanco to a dirty Margarita, tequila is a global hit – and it has a long history dating back to the Aztecs.
You might know that tequila is distilled from the agave plant, but did you know that bats play a crucial part in its production too? Tequila expert Millie Milliken is your guide to the art and craft of tequila, from the type of agave used and how it is harvested, the jimadors who make the spirit and the types of tequila including silver, gold, and different levels of ageing. She will take you through the fascinating history of this spirit from pre-colonial times to its use in Mexican Westerns and today’s rebirth, and how it is made.

Next, the tasting course. Explore the wide variety of flavors you can expect to taste in different tequilas, the significance of the glass you drink from, and the equipment you need to start making cocktails. Tequila is only made in Mexico and the different tequilas are presented region by region, showcasing the variety in this fascinating country.

Finally, experiment with making your own cocktails, with Millie’s tips on making the perfect Margarita, Tequila Sour, Paloma, Tequila Sunrise, and more.
