World Cocktail Adventures is a virtual cocktail tour in book form
by creative duo Loni Carr and Brett Gramse of The Whiskey Ginger.
Each chapter focuses on a different spirit - tequila, whiskey, rum,
vodka, gin and speciality - with a total of 40 unique cocktail
recipes featured. What's the travel twist, you ask? Well, each
recipe is inspired by a different destination around the world.
You'll get a taste of the place's history and tourist attractions
with a vintage-style travel poster to match, followed by a quick
explanation of why Loni and Brett think the cocktail is best
enjoyed in this location. Then you'll get the real goods with a fun
cocktail recipe, tips on glassware and bartending, and an
illustration of the final cocktail. This is a book for cocktail
lovers and travel dreamers. You could be enjoying a Desert Road
tequila cocktail and imagine yourself in Amarillo, Texas in the US,
or sipping on a Fire and Ice whiskey cocktail inspired by
Reykjavik, Iceland. There are also some bonus ideas for drinking
games included. We're asking you to come on an adventure... a
cocktail world adventure! World Cocktail Adventures mixes
travelling and drinking, muddles fantasy with non-fiction, and
retells tales never told. Just remember, this book is meant to be
used. It's not your mum's white couch. Write in it. Spill a drink
on it. Pass it around. Love was poured into the making of it, and
you can honour the creators by truly enjoying it.
Shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Drink Book award. This is a
book about how to drink rum of all kinds. It's about classic rums
and new-generation rums, about rhum agricole and about premium aged
rums, about rums from all over the world. It's about rum enjoyed
with cola and ginger beer. About the best rum for a classic
daquiri. About rum cocktails that ooze style and personality. Above
all, it's about enjoying your rum in ways you never thought
possible. The premium rum market is growing at an astonishing rate.
The mission of this book is to help drinkers appreciate this
complex spirit, find the style they like and discover how this
versatile spirit can best be enjoyed. It will help you to
understand your rum - how it's produced (whether from molasses,
cane syrup or cane juice) and whether it's dry, sweet, fresh or
oaky. More than 100 different rums are featured and analysed, from
rich, sweet mellow Guyana rums to the vegetal peppery rums of
Martinique or Guadeloupe and contemporary spiced rums. Dave Broom
provides a description and graded tasting notes for each brand,
allowing you to create the perfect mix every time. Finally, a
selection of classic and contemporary cocktails shows just how
wonderfully versatile this spirit is.

an introduction exploring the current whisky boom and how
distilleries are coping with this surge in demand makes this

"Quickly being recognised as the most comprehensive guide to Irish
whiskey." - Gary Quinn, The Irish Times "A must read book for any
fan of Irish whiskey. At a time when the category is making the
mightiest of comebacks Fionnan O'Connor has written a gem of a
book, digging deep in to the heart of his country's whiskey history
and telling its story with style and authority. Excellent." -
Dominic Roskrow, Founding Director, The Craft Distillers Alliance
Irish single pot still whiskey has a romantic mystique for many
whiskey critics because of its tragic history as the lost sister of
single malt scotch. Ireland's history and politics resulted in the
near-annihilation of the national drink and there's an almost eerie
beauty to the silent distilleries that still dot the Irish
countryside. These distilleries inform the aesthetic of the title
and, indeed, there is visual poetry in the barrels, pot stills and
photogenic amber spirits that convey the Irish whiskey world.
Although Irish whiskey is currently the fastest-growing global
spirits category and Irish pure pot still has long been a favourite
drink among whiskey critics and connoisseurs, the existing
literature is still surprisingly sparse. This book illustrates the
production, history, and appreciation of Irish pot still whiskey
and will introduce casual drinkers to the richness of these
whiskeys as well as being a collector's item for established
whiskey connoisseurs.
