Beverages of Oaxaca

Bebidas de Oaxaca focuses on the traditional beverages of Oaxaca, Mexico, a region celebrated for its rich and diverse culinary heritage, including fermented, distilled, and non-alcoholic drinks rooted in indigenous and mestizo traditions. Written in English by Ricardo Bonilla and Salvador Hernández Cueva and published by Agua de Tiempo in 2019, the book likely addresses both home cooks and curious readers with an interest in Mexican regional drink culture. The title suggests a recipe-driven format that documents the beverages native to Oaxaca, potentially encompassing mezcal, tejate, atole, and other locally significant preparations. As a work published by a smaller regional press, it may serve as a valuable cultural record of beverage traditions that are underrepresented in mainstream English-language culinary literature.
