Regarding Cocktails is the only book from the late Sasha Petraske,
the legendary bartender who changed cocktail culture with his
speakeasy-style bar Milk & Honey. Forewords by Dale DeGroff and
Robert Simonson. Here are 85 cocktail recipes from his
repertoire-the beloved classics and modern variations-with stories
from the bartenders he personally trained. Ingredients,
measurements, and preparations are beautifully illustrated so that
readers can make professional cocktails at home. Sasha's advice for
keeping the home bar, as well as his musings, are collected here to
inspire a new generation of bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts.
When the Manhattan came along, it completely changed the drinking
landscape. Cocktail historian Philip Greene traces the evolution of
this classic from the stories of its origin to its continuing
influence. Richly illustrated with vintage artwork and deluxe
photos, this definitive story of the iconic cocktail offers 65
recipes from the classic versions to the Manhattan's many
descendants - including the almighty Martini itself.
The Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the absinthe glass of Herbsaint are
among the many well-known creations native to New Orleans's
longstanding drinking culture. But more than vehicles for alcohol,
the cocktails and spirits that complement the city's culinary
prowess are each a token of its history. In every bar-side toast or
street-corner daiquiri you can find evidence of the people,
politics, and convergence of ethnicities that drive the story of
the Crescent City. In Lift Your Spirits: A Celebratory History of
Cocktail Culture in New Orleans, Elizabeth M. Williams, founder and
director of the Southern Food and Beverage Institute, and
world-renowned bartender Chris McMillian illuminate the city's open
embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, while
delving into the myths, traditions, and personalities that have
made New Orleans a destination for imbibing tourists and a mecca
for mixologists. With over 40 cocktail recipes interspersed among
nearly three hundred years of history, a sampling of premier
cocktail bars in New Orleans, and a glossary of terms to aid drink
making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink
in the city of good times.
