Cocktails: The New Classics

There have been several distinct eras of cocktails from prohibition to the present day, and this book covers the history and composition of plenty of classic cocktails. More than 60 recipes mix modernity with tradition and informs readers about the drinks histories, the famous lounges, bars, and speakeasies they come from, and the famous bartenders who shaped the modern cocktail. Organized into sections of shaken cocktails, stirred drinks, ad punches, the book also includes variations, garnish suggestions, and notes about each drink's creation.
