The Tippling Bros. A Lime and a Shaker: Discovering Mexican-Inspired Cocktails Reviews


  • Adam Crafter

    A fun little read,
    A mix of good ideas, some recipes , snippets o history, and a good chapter on additional non-alcoholic drinks.

  • Carol Smith

    I've made 10 drinks from this book, can officially name it a treasure trove of creative endeavors using the agave spirits. Favorites include the Margarita con Humo, the Savory Strawberry Margarita, and the Division Bell (mezcal, aperol, lime, and Luxardo). Can't wait to try the Howler (peanut liqueur, canteloupe, lime, and tequila) and the Arose con Blonde (horchata, Lillet Blonde, lime, cumin, and oregano).

    This puppy is a keeper! Only gripe: awful index. Can't search by particular liqueur, particular ingredient, etc. Needs much improvement for the second edition.

    can someone make me all the drinks?!

    Looking for some really unusual tequila recipes? This is it. Loved the uniqueness of this book. Beautiful pictures accompanied some bit more difficult recipes to make, but still worth it.
