Behind the Bar shines a light on 50 signature cocktails from the
most iconic hotel bars across the world, appealing to
tried-and-true cocktail lovers and design aficionados alike.
Recipes from some of these storied properties will inspire
enthusiasts to re-create timeless cocktails at home. Plus,
anecdotes supplied by barkeeps and hotel and design personalities
will enliven the recipes and reveal why so many hotel bars have
endured through the years or have made an impact on the modern
world. The clandestine speakeasy has been glorified countless times
for its mix of sex appeal and transporting decor but the hotel bar
should also be recognised for its sophistication, grandeur, or
showmanship. Behind the Bar does exactly that but also transcends
the cocktail crowd niche. It is just as much a book for the
traveller with a strong appreciation for design as well as the
fantasy-filled armchair traveller charmed by illustrations and
nuggets of history.

Named a Best Gift Book/Best Travel Book of the Year by the New York
Times, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, House Beautiful,

Weekly Patricia Schultz curates the world. When she published the
original 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, she created not only a
new kind of travel book but also a new way of thinking about our
experiences and interests. Now Schultz captivates our hearts in the
same compelling way her original book spoke to our minds. Moving
from eloquent word to breath-taking image, she takes us on a visual
journey of the best the world has to offer, and as we turn the
pages and pore over these images, we feel it all: joy, curiosity,
awe, passion, nostalgia (if we've been there), inspiration (because
we want to go), and a profound and transforming sense of how lucky
we are to live in a world filled with such beauty and wonder-to see
tributaries of mist curling over the Great Wall, elephants grazing
on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, the sun setting on the wild
coast of Donegal, masked whirling dancers at a festival in Bhutan.
The book itself is a thing of beauty, an oversize feast of more
than 1,000 all-new photographs and 544 pages, every spread and page
designed to showcase these mesmerizing photographs and hold just
enough of Schultz's lively text that we know why it is we're
looking at them. It is a perfect gift for every traveller, every
fan of the original, every dreamer whose Instagram feed is filled
with pictures of places near and far.
