Take a swig of the Wild, Wild West with 60 historically inspired cattle
kingdom cocktails.
Based on trail life after the Civil War, the cow towns at the time, and
on the drinks enjoyed there, Cowboy Cocktails gives you a true taste of
the cowboy lifestyle. With charming sidebars throughout, learn some
surprising history about cowboys and their experiences in the Wild West
like:
- Free Lunch – During the cowboy era, American saloons offered
“free lunch,” or small bites served gratis alongside drink orders. A
typical free lunch included smoked oysters, crackers with Limburger
cheese, rye bread, and sardines. If you want to recreate a free lunch
and make it a feast, add salted peanuts, sauerkraut, cold cuts,
pretzels, and dill pickles. Crafty saloon owners knew that such salty
offerings not only kept customers around longer but kept them thirsty
for more.
- Chili Powder – German immigrant William Gebhardt first pulverized
dried chile peppers by using a meat grinder in the 1890s. The powder
was popularized along the Wells Fargo stagecoach line in Texas and
became a boon to home cooks and chuck wagon chefs alike. The powder
also helped popularize chili as a recognizable dish across the US.
With whiskey-, tequila-, and gin-based cocktail recipes complemented by
some serious cowboy lore, this cocktail book full of captivatingly
photographed cowboy drinks will transport you to the rough and wild
times of the American Old West. Some of the cocktails you can make
include:
- Dead Man’s Hand – bourbon whiskey, agave nectar, spicy bitters,
Peychaud’s bitters; fun fact: named for the cards Wild Bill Hickok was
holding when he was shot, now called the “dead man’s hand” (two black
aces and two black eights)
- Watermelon Ranch Water – blanco tequila, lime juice, fresh
watermelon juice, Topo Chico (or club soda); fun fact: “ranch water” is
the name for the combination of tequila, lime juice, and sparkling water
- Madame Mustache – mezcal, agave nectar, Angostura bitters, beer;
fun fact: named for Eleanor Dumont, who operated a series of gambling
dens across the western frontier (and, yes, also had a mustache)
- I’m Your Huckleberry – bourbon whiskey, huckleberry syrup, lemon
juice, Angostura bitters; fun fact: named for a real quote said by Doc
Holliday, but made famous by Val Kilmer’s delivery of the line in the
1993 movie Tombstone
- Tombstone Tonsil Painter – rye whiskey, Tawny Port, Benedictine,
Angostura bitters; fun fact: “tonsil paint,” or “tonsil varnish,” was a
cowboy nickname for whiskey
Every cowboy enthusiast who enjoys a good drink needs this book in
their cocktail-recipe arsenal.

Distillation is an art. And even an ancient one. It is strange to
find that the history of this oldest and still most important
method of producing chemically pure substances has ever been
written. The reader looking at the bibliography appended to this
book might object that many data existed. This may be true but the
proper history of the art from the origin up to the present time
was lacking.
This book is a journey in words and pictures from ancient times to
the modern day, via the history and geography of one of the oldest
phenomena in the history of mankind: beer! This book brings to the
reader the ancient story of beer, presenting ingredients and
methods of production, which for the most part have not changed in
Centuries, and accompanies the reader in his discovery of ten types
of beer made in the principle beer-making traditions around the
world. The book reveals many trade secrets and recommends beers
that are unknown to most people: salty, smoky, true to medieval
recipes, or recently created by daring independent brewers.
