Mezcal: The History, Craft & Cocktails of the World's Ultimate Artisanal Spirit Tapa dura - 2017

Emma Janzen started writing about mezcal, cocktails, beer, and other spirits as the Liquid Austin columnist for the Austin American-Statesman in 2010. Her work has since been published in Bon Appetit, PUNCH, Food Republic, Serious Eats, and more. Her first book, Mezcal: The History, Craft & Cocktails of the World's Ultimate Artisanal Spirit, was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2018. With Julia Momos of Michelin-starred bar Kumiko, she co-authored The Way of the Cocktail, which won the James Beard Foundation Book Award in the Beverage with Recipes category in 2022. She won a second James Beard Foundation Book Award in the same category in 2023 for The Bartender's Manifesto, which she co-authored with Toby Maloney. She's currently Digital Content Editor for Imbibe Magazine, working from her home in Chicago. She prefers her mezcal neat, her cocktails made with gin, and her stouts served year-round.
