Critics Review
Praise for The Mezcal Rush“A rich, inclusive portrait of one of the world’s great drinks.” —Kirkus Reviews“A unique and fascinating journey following the mezcal trail from remote Mexican villages to trendy bars abroad, from indigenous fiestas to mixology events crammed with modish tipplers. Greene’s lively and skillful blend of travelogue and social commentary charts the sometimes troubled links between these very different worlds.” —Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs commentator, The Financial Times“Impressively informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented, The Mezcal Rush is an original and inherently fascinating read from beginning to end.” —Wisconsin Bookwatch“An artful combination of travel narrative and research—I felt as if I was sipping mezcal through Mexico as I read it.” —Baylor Chapman, author of The Plant Recipe Book
