There is no argument the margarita is the most popular cocktail in the United States. There are many stories as to its origin, which I will cover, but the popularity of the margarita has stemmed from its simple ingredients, ease of mixing, and refreshing taste.

Margaritas come in a variety of flavors and have a limited number of ingredient substitutions, which make them popular cocktails for parties, relaxing times, and even for nights out on the town.

In addition to the history of the margarita and providing recipes, this book will give you brief instructions for choosing a serving glass, salting or sugaring the rim, how to choose between frozen or on-the-rocks, choosing a garnish, making simple syrup, and converting margaritas to virgin margaritas.

Whether you prefer the original margarita with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice or a more flavorful margarita, such as strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, or key lime, this book has you covered. Also included are some of the more extreme margaritas that include, but not limited to, the jalapeno margarita, Tabasco margarita, and even a margarita made with Jack Daniel's.

Pour you a fresh margarita, and enjoy reading through this book.

2011 Reprint of 1951 Illustrated First Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. For almost 4 decades, Saucier was the publicist for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. His 1951 cocktail classic book, Bottoms Up includes over 200 drinks, fully indexed, plus twelve risqu [for the period] illustrations by twelve different artists. A typical review of a cocktail follows the actual recipe: THE LAST WORD: Damrak Gin / Green Chartreuse / Luxardo Maraschino / Lime / Sugar"This cocktail was introduced around here about thirty years ago by Frank Fogarty, who was very well known in vaudeville. He was called the 'Dublin Minstrel, ' and was a very fine monologue artist." So wrote Ted Saucier in 1951 when introducing this drink in Bottoms Up. Saucier credits the drink to the Detroit Athletic Club, and if the bartender's recollection is correct, that would place the Last Word as a Prohibition-era cocktail. If that's the case, then the Last Word is one of the finest cocktails to come out of that bleak period in American history. Four ingredients, two of them fairly exotic, working in equal parts to create perfect harmony.

Jonathan Nossiter, award-winning filmmaker and former sommelier, had his first taste of wine at the age of three in Paris, from his father's fingertip. For him, wine is "memory in its most liquid and dynamic form," an essential art. In "Liquid Memory," the American expatriate takes readers on a cheeky insider's investigation of the mysteries of "terroir," the historical sense of place that makes wine unique.
Nossiter, who already created an uproar in the world of wine with his film "Mondovino," here reveals how the tyranny of snobs, critics, and charlatans prevents us all from taking part in what should be a gloriously democratic bacchanalia. From the sacred wineshops of Paris to film locations in Rio de Janeiro, this singular journey invites us to consider how power influences taste and how one's own taste might combat power in any sphere.
Unabashedly controversial, "Liquid Memory "has already riled the establishment, and it will continue to stimulate wine lovers and convert the skeptics for many years to come.

Originally published in 1896, Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes boissons Americaines et Anglaises by Louis Fouquet is regarded as the second French cocktail book ever published. But there is no question that Bariana is the first heralded French cocktail book--unveiled in the popular Almanach Hachette encyclopaedia on practical life and introduced the phenomenon of a nouveau genre of mixed drinks.
