All the more reason to raise a glass.

No two of these glasses or pitchers are the same, so they feel extra special: Once the reclaimed glass is melted down, artisans then attach a blob of molten glass to the end of a long, hollow pipe. They then puff into the pipe and blow the molten glass into the desired shape—either a glass or pitcher. Tiny imperfections, such as variable thickness and shape, bubbles and flowing colors, are reminders that Mexican blown glass is made by real people. What some people see as a flaw, others see as a beautiful, handmade detail (we’re in the latter group).

Latin America may be just be a short plane ride away, but it's often easier to find authentic European delicacies than a steaming cup of Mexican hot chocolate or perfect flour tortillas. No more: Melissa Guerra is our saving grace. Even better -- her supplies come from indigenous cooperatives whenever possible.
