In 2019, the Negroni turned 100 years old, and it's more popular
than ever. The drink's classic proportions are equal parts Campari,
gin, and sweet vermouth, making it an easy cocktail to order and to
make on your own. The Negroni will give readers insight into the
drink's origins in Italy (it started as a twist on the Americano),
and the tools to make over 20 simple variations from drink experts
and bartenders around the world. Here's the Negroni Frappe from the
famed bar Dante in New York City; the Negroni Spagliato from Bar
Basso in Milan, where the gin is replaced with prosecco; and the
author's own version, which goes heavier on the gin and lighter on
the vermouth. Included will be details on garnish, bitters, tools,
glassware; a section on the importance of the vermouth used;
interviews with bartenders from around the world; where to get the
best Negroni; and so much more. Beautiful original photography of
the drinks along with archival imagery of famous Negroni lovers -
like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles - and vintage liquor ads
make this gorgeous book an irresistible gift for anyone who loves
to enjoy a Negroni.
Originally published in 1937 by the United Kingdom Bartenders
Guild, Caf Royal Cocktail Book compiled by William J Tarling offers
a rare glimpse into the wide array of drinks offered in London bars
between the two world wars. Tarling, head bartender at the Caf
Royal during had two goals. He wanted to extend this resource to
consumers. He also wanted to raise funds for the United Kingdom
Bartenders Guild Sickness Fund and the Caf Royal Sports Club Fund.
Thus, he drew from the recipes previously compiled for Approved
Cocktails, and added more of his own. He also collected many more
original recipes from his contemporaries. The result was an
outstanding and timely book. It did more than gather recipes, it
captured a boom time in the history of cocktails, glass by glass.
Sadly, there was only one printing and it became an unobtainable
rarity, locking away a time capsule of drinks and knowledge.
Reproduced in collaboration with the UKBG, Exposition Universelle
des Vins et Spiritueux, and Mixellany Limited, this facsimile
edition unlocks that knowledge for a new generation of consumers
and bartenders around the world. Within these pages are some of the
earliest known recipes for drinks made with tequila and vodka as
well as memorable concoctions made with absinthe and other recently
revived ingredients-an essential addition to every cocktail book
library.
This classic volume covers every aspect of coffee, --its history,
production, and enjoyment. An encyclopaedic Bible of coffee.

"The Standard Wine Cookbook, by Anne Director, is the perfect
addition to any cooking library. Director has recorded hundreds of
food and drink recipes using wine from around the world, each of
which is a time tested favorite. Although wine loses its alcohol
when subjected to heart, it can still give any dish heightened
flavor and aroma, the basic rule to remember is that if you can
taste the wine in the food when it is done, you have used too much.
Sherry is the perennial favorite for cooking. It is especially good
in soups, and with fish, shellfish, chicken and ham. In general,
red table wines are used most successfully in dishes with red
meats, and whites with white meats, chicken and seafood. Director
encourages cooks to experiment. Each wine has an individual flavor
and character. Some of the recipes included are French Onion Soup
made with Sherry, Cranberry Salad Mold made with Claret, Wine
Butter Sauce for vegetables made with Sherry, Red Wine Beefsteak
Pie, and Fruit Wine Shortcake. All of the dishes are economical and
easy to prepare. Many date back hundreds of years. Suggested wines
are listed by their generic names." - Petterson's California
Journal

'The true pioneer of civilization is not the newspaper, not
religion, not the railroad but Whiskey!' - Mark Twain From illicit
distillation to worldwide export, whisky has a powerful and

in 1999. This book will take you to whisky landmarks all over the
world, including the record-breaking Karuizawa distillery in Japan
and Kavalan, the distillery that put Taiwanese whisky on the map.
Get to grips with the four key ingredients - grain, wood, yeast and
time - then learn how to taste whisky like a pro, from glassware to
cocktails, and become a part of the international whisky family.

to think of as family. Will the arrival of a new baby on Gin Barrel
Lane bring the promise of new hope, or will the long-awaited thaw

'James Crowden is Britain's best cider writer ... Cider Country is
the book we've all been waiting for.' Oz Clarke Join James Crowden
as he embarks on a journey to distil the ancient origins of cider,
uncovering a rich culture and philosophy that has united farmer,
maker and drinker for millennia. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 ANDRE
SIMON FOOD AND DRINK AWARD Cidermaking has been at the heart of
country life for hundreds of years. But the fascinating story of
how this drink came into existence and why it became so deeply
rooted in the nation's psyche has never been told. In order to
answer these questions, James Crowden traces an elusive history
stretching back to the ancient, myth-infused civilisations of the
Mediterranean and the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan. Meeting
cider experts, farmers and historians, he unearths the surprising
story of an apple that travelled from east to west and proved
irresistible to everyone who tasted it. Upon its arrival in
Britain, monks, pirates and politicians formed a pioneering and
evangelical fan base, all seeking the company of a drink that might
guide them through uncertain times. But the nation's love-affair
with cider didn't fully blossom until after the reformation, when
the thirst for knowledge about the drink was at its peak. This
infatuation with experimentation would lead to remarkable
innovations and the creation of a 'sparkling cider', a technique
that pre-dated Dom Perignon's champagne by forty years. Turning to
the present day, Crowden meets the next generation of cider makers
and unearths a unique philosophy that has been shared through the
ages. In the face of real challenges, these enterprising cider
makers are still finding new ways to produce this golden drink that
is enjoyed by so many. Spanning centuries and continents, Cider
Country tells the story of our country through the culture, craft
and consumption of our most iconic rural drink.
