More About This Book

Overview

The 1990's cocktail comeback is headiest among the twentysomethings who made the movie "Swingers" a hit and were profiled in Esquire's "Cocktail Culture" cover story. Paul Harrington slakes the growing thirst for mixology at Wired's Cocktail Web site (www.cocktailtime.com), which draws over 250,000 hits a month and has more than 40,000 readers. Now this specialist bartender (known to his fans as "The Alchemist") has put all his wit, wisdom, and know-how into a book that's as cool as it's compendious -- from James Bond's classic Vesper to the Monkey Gland and the Police Gazette. Starting with full coverage of basic essentials from glassware to garnishes, Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the 21st Century goes on to feature everything you need to know about sixty-four classic cocktails, illustrated with four-color spreads and over three hundred additional drink recipes. Find out what turns a Martini into a Bull's Eye, whether to serve a Mint Julep over shaved or crushed ice, and the true genesis of the Moscow Mule and the feisty, hard-to-get Nicky Finn. Snappy, classy, and spectacularly packaged, Cocktail is the book for bar, cocktail table, and party gift-giving.

    Great gift item

    Having looked at a bunch of books on bartending recently, I found it a pleasure reading 'Cocktail.' It's informative and full of anecdotes that both educate and entertain. Fills in a lot of details that other guidebooks don't. In terms of recipes, the authors admit that they focus mainly on 'classics'. If anyone is interested in cocktails--whether as a host, aspiring bartender, or well-seasoned professional--this book will be one worth getting or giving. Enjoy!
