Description


Take a trip back to the roaring 20s or the Mad Men 60s with this fabulous collection of cocktails. Whether it’s to Netflix and Chill, a few close friends for after work, or the best house party you’ve ever thrown, make it better with authentic cocktails!
Anything you can mix and pour into a glass is now termed a “cocktail,” but those drinks usually pale in comparison with the truly classic cocktails. Vintage Cocktails returns drinkers to an age of Manhattans, Pink Ladies, Gin Fizzes, and Whisky Sours, and so much more:

Bellini
Bloody Mary
Brandy Alexander
Cuba Libre
Daiquiri
French 75
Gimlet
Irish Coffee
Mint Julep
Mojito
Negroni
Sea Breeze
White Russian
And so much more!

Included with the recipes are quirky cultural facts as well as serving suggestions, what to have stocked at your bar at all times, and how to cure the inevitable hangover.
