Post prohibition in the United States brought a renewed interested
in the beverage arts. The authors of this book offer wine and
spirits making as an art on the level of weaving, pottery and
smelting-arts that did not require a great amount of scientific
development, yet have reached a level of artistic perfection. Given
this historical background, Wines and Liquors provides a general
overview as well as detailed science on the production of wine and
spirits including: fermentation, sugars, yeasts, malting,
distillation and even some recipes for cordials. This book remains
as relevant today as when originally published in 1935.
The Craft of Gin explores the history of Gin production from its
crude origins in medieval Europe to the finely honed spirits of
twenty-first century craft distillers. The book describes how gin
is made, the primary botanicals used in its production, tasting
notes for fifty craft gins from around the world, and five
interviews of leading craft gin distillers. The book is rounded out
with two chapters dedicated to timeless gin cocktails, their
background, how they are made and the best gins and ingredients
that allows them to sing.
When George Washington bade farewell to his officers, he did so in
New York's Fraunces Tavern. When Andrew Jackson planned his defense
of New Orleans against the British in 1815, he met Jean Lafitte in
a grog shop. And when John Wilkes Booth plotted with his
accomplices to carry out an assassination, they gathered in Surratt
Tavern.
In America Walks into a Bar, Christine Sismondo recounts the rich
and fascinating history of an institution often reviled, yet always
central to American life. She traces the tavern from England to New
England, showing how even the Puritans valued "a good Beere." With
fast-paced narration and lively characters, she carries the story
through the twentieth century and beyond, from repeated struggles
over licensing and Sunday liquor sales, from the Whiskey Rebellion
to the temperance movement, from attempts to ban "treating" to
Prohibition and repeal. As the cockpit of organized crime,
politics, and everyday social life, the bar has remained vital--and
controversial--down to the present. In 2006, when the Hurricane
Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act was passed, a rider excluded bars
from applying for aid or tax breaks on the grounds that they
contributed nothing to the community. Sismondo proves otherwise:
the bar has contributed everything to the American story.
Now in paperback, Sismondo's heady cocktail of agile prose and
telling anecdotes offers a resounding toast to taprooms, taverns,
saloons, speakeasies, and the local hangout where everybody knows
your name.
In Dave Arnold s world, the shape of an ice cube, the sugars and
acids in an apple, and the bubbles in a bottle of champagne are all
ingredients to be measured, tested, and tweaked.
With Liquid Intelligence, the creative force at work in Booker
& Dax, New York City s high-tech bar, brings readers behind the
counter and into the lab. There, Arnold and his collaborators
investigate temperature, carbonation, sugar concentration, and
acidity in search of ways to enhance classic cocktails and invent
new ones that revolutionize your expectations about what a drink
can look and taste like.
Years of rigorous experimentation and study botched attempts and
inspired solutions have yielded the recipes and techniques found in
these pages. Featuring more than 120 recipes and nearly 450 color
photographs, Liquid Intelligence begins with the simple how ice
forms and how to make crystal-clear cubes in your own freezer and
then progresses into advanced techniques like clarifying cloudy
lime juice with enzymes, nitro-muddling fresh basil to prevent
browning, and infusing vodka with coffee, orange, or
peppercorns.
Practical tips for preparing drinks by the pitcher, making
homemade sodas, and building a specialized bar in your own home are
exactly what drink enthusiasts need to know. For devotees seeking
the cutting edge, chapters on liquid nitrogen, chitosan/gellan
washing, and the applications of a centrifuge expand the boundaries
of traditional cocktail craft.
Arnold s book is the beginning of a new method of making drinks,
a problem-solving approach grounded in attentive observation and
creative techniques. Readers will learn how to extract the sweet
flavor of peppers without the spice, why bottling certain drinks
beforehand beats shaking them at the bar, and why quinine powder
and succinic acid lead to the perfect gin and tonic.
Liquid Intelligence is about satisfying your curiosity and
refining your technique, from red-hot pokers to the elegance of an
old-fashioned. Whether you re in search of astounding drinks or a
one-of-a-kind journey into the next generation of cocktail making,
Liquid Intelligence is the ultimate standard one that no bartender
or drink enthusiast should be without."
