From European favourites such as Mastichato Chios, which saved
2,000 Greeks from a bloody massacre at the hands of vengeful Turks,
to legendary drinks such as Amarula, invented by African elephants;
from classic cocktail ingredients like Midori, the bright green
Japanese melon drink launched at the wrap party for Saturday Night
Fever at Studio 54, to student stalwart Jagermeister, dreamt up by
a confidant of Herman Goering and hugely popular among senior
Nazis, Slippery Tipples tells the stories behind the word's most
extraordinary drinks. Alongside a country-by-country guide to murky
and mysterious booze and dozens of cocktail recipes is a series of
easy to follow recipes for making your own liqueurs and spirits. If
you would like to concoct your own fruit brandies or make a drop of
traditional full-strength Pimms then this is the book for you.
Joseph Piercy was born in Brighton. After spending far too long at
university studying Russian Literature and Creative Writing, Joseph
embarked upon a journey which took him to various parts of the
world in an honest attempt to avoid anything faintly resembling a
proper job. He has enjoyed an occasional drink or two along the
road.
