What can we expect from the best whiskey producers in America
today? Whiskey America showcases some of the most exciting new
styles of whiskey and why they are so special. With fascinating
interviews with some of the leading characters in the recent
distilling revolution, this absorbing book relates the stories of
how successful lawyers, doctors and city slickers made the
life-changing decision to turn their backs on conventional careers
to pursue the 'good life' of making spirits in the most far-flung
outreaches of America. And thank goodness they did, because this
new generation of distillers not only customized conventional
whiskey styles but also invented new ones never seen before.
Whiskey America investigates how best to enjoy the new whiskies -
in cocktails, with food, mixed or straight - and looks forward to
where these exciting American spirits are going next.
Gone are the days when a lonely bottle of Angostura bitters held
court behind the bar. A cocktail renaissance has swept across the
country, inspiring in bartenders and their thirsty patrons a new
fascination with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that
make the American cocktail so special. And few ingredients have as
rich a history or serve as fundamental a role in our beverage
heritage as bitters.
Author and bitters enthusiast Brad Thomas Parsons traces the
history of the world's most storied elixir, from its earliest
"snake oil" days to its near evaporation after Prohibition to its
ascension as a beloved (and at times obsessed-over) ingredient on
the contemporary bar scene. Parsons writes from the front lines of
the bitters boom, where he has access to the best and boldest new
brands and flavors, the most innovative artisanal producers, and
insider knowledge of the bitters-making process.
Whether you're a professional looking to take your game to the
next level or just a DIY-type interested in homemade potables,
Bitters has a dozen recipes for customized blends--ranging from
Apple to Coffee-Pecan to Root Beer bitters--as well as tips on
sourcing ingredients and step-by-step instructions fit for amateur
and seasoned food crafters alike.
Also featured are more than seventy cocktail recipes that showcase
bitters' diversity and versatility: classics like the Manhattan (if
you ever get one without bitters, send it back), old-guard
favorites like the Martinez, contemporary drinks from Parsons's own
repertoire like the Shady Lane, plus one-of-a-kind libations from
the country's most pioneering bartenders. Last but not least, there
is a full chapter on cooking with bitters, with a dozen recipes for
sweet and savory bitters-infused dishes.
Part recipe book, part project guide, part barman's manifesto,
Bitters is a celebration of good cocktails made well, and of the
once-forgotten but blessedly rediscovered virtues of bitters.
