Description


Salvatore 'The Maestro' Calabrese is one of the world's foremost cocktail experts, and drinks lovers will love this expanded version of his classic guide. The New York Times called the original edition 'a must-have', and now it contains even more: new chapters and loads of new images; up-to-the-minute information on the most exciting cocktail trends, tastes and techniques; and newly uncovered historical tidbits (like the true origin of the Bloody Mary). Fifty new recipes include long-buried favourites like the turn-of-the-century New Orleans classic Absinthe Suissesse, a barrel-aged Blood and Sand and the Prohibition-era The Angel's Tit. This elegant volume also includes DIY for essential cocktail ingredients like Velvet Falernum, recipes for flavoured syrups and homemade shrubs, and advice on throwing the very best at-home cocktail parties ever.
