The Elemental Mixology books contain a multitude of classic, popular, rare and custom drinks. Book two contains the appendix (with its sections on historical shifts and the glossary), plus the following genres of drinks: Punches, Blossoms, Fruitballs, and Possets. By returning to the tradition of understanding drinks by types, these are the only current books that let the reader look up drinks even if not knowing their name - nor even knowing for sure whether they already exist. All are prepared, according to the principles of traditional, American mixology. Recommended liquor, glassware and tools required for making each type of drink is indicated throughout the book. There are also sections the history of the types of, and often specific, drinks. The complete set of books one and two are needed for coverage of all types of drinks.
