Margarita--the drink that's a party in a glass! Whip up an icy batch of America's favorite cocktail, spike the salsa with some tequila, too, and you're well on your way to a really good time, down-by-the-border-style. Now all you need is the perfect margarita, and happily, you've come to the right place. W. Park Kerr from the El Paso Chile Company brings you a hot 'n' cool collection of Margaritas and other tequila-boosted recipes for every taste and every lively occasion. Let the fiesta begin! As fearless and creative at the bar as he is in the kitchen, W. Park Kerr knows there's more than one way to shake a margarita. In this book he tells the (tall) tale of the original margarita; introduces Margarita 101 for those just getting started; then boldly goes where few other cantinamasters have, offering Passion-Peach Margaritas, Frozen Watermelon Margaritas, and Pineapple Margaritas, to name but a few. If you like your tequila straight, follow his lead and add the zests of a few oranges, lemons, and limes to a bottle of your favorite brand. Let it steep for two days, then sip it icy cold from the freezer. ¡Excellente!

Summary: Amazing
Comment: I have made plenty of the drinks in this book and they are all fantastic. occaisonally i added a little more lime juice or sugar for my own tastes but this book is great. even the food recipies are great. I tried out the bar-b-que sauce.....i don't think i've ever danced a jig before over bar-b-que sauce. i highly reccomend this book. the only drawback would be that there aren't pictures for every single recipie, but there are plenty to make up for it.

Summary: nice coffee table book
Comment: This is a gorgeous book, but it hasn't been as usefull as I was hoping. There are many odd kinds of margaritas in here, which is great if that's what you like. But there was only one regular margarita recipe, and it was the kind I was hoping for. If you just look up recipes online, you're more likely to find the recipe you're looking for, since this one only has about 10 recipes. But as a coffee table book, it's perfect!

Summary: Can't Drink the Photos
Comment: However attractive the pics may be, you can't shake them up on ice and sip them while the sun slips into the Caribbean. The test of any cooking or drink book is in the tasting, and this is one tasty little volume indeed. Liquid (the best Mai Tai ever) or solid (French Toast Brulee), these recipes are keepers. The book's inexpensive enough--buy two and tuck the spare away in a cupboard, for when the first one is worn out.

Summary: Delightfully distilled wisdom, from an expert host.
Comment: After all the gushing about the photos -- okay, they're great -- somebody needs to point out how good the recipes are! Park Kerr offers a wealth of information, in an easy-to-read format. With guests literally walking through the door, I was able to whip up a huge batch of frozen margaritas with next to no effort -- one guest, who has some expertise in these matters, can't stop raving about them -- "By far the best I've ever had," he says. (Kerr's secret ingredients made all the difference.) As with all good cookbooks, this one gives you loads of tips and tricks that make a good recipe ten times more interesting and fun. You get clear explanations about the various grades of tequila, so there's no confusion when you're facing a dizzying array of bottles at the liquor store. All in all, a tight, concise, well-informed guide that is presented with real panache. It's the next best thing to crossing the bridge to Ciudad Juarez, headed for the Kentucky Club on a Friday night. Hats off to Park Kerr, and, yes, a tip of the lens cap to Duane Winfield.
