Throughout American history, women have helped propel what we know
as classic cocktails—the Martini, the Manhattan, the
Old-Fashioned, and more—into popular culture. But, often excluded
from private clubs, women exercised this influence from the home,
in their cocktail parlors. In The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nicola Nice,
sociologist and spirits entrepreneur, gives women their
long-overdue spotlight in cocktail history and shows how they still
impact cocktail culture today. Journeying through the decades, this
book profiles a diverse array of influential hostesses. With each
historic era comes iconic recipes, featuring a total of 40 main
cocktails and more than 100 variations that readers can make at
home. Whether its happy hour punch a la Martha Washington or a
Harlem Renaissance–inspired Green Skirt, readers will find that
many of the ingredients and drinks they’re familiar with today
wouldn’t be here without the hostesses who served them first.
This title provides a complete history of one of the world's most
iconic cocktails - now the poster child of the modern cocktail
revival - with fifty recipes for classic variations as well as
contemporary updates.
