Description

David Wondrich's updated guide to classic American cocktails is a fascinating exploration of the colorful history behind America's favorite drinks. This engaging book delves into the life of Jerry Thomas, the pioneer of the American bar, and presents definitive recipes for over 100 essential drinks.

With a focus on the little-known stories and anecdotes behind classic cocktails, Wondrich's book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of mixology. The updated edition includes new recipes, historical information, and a range of delicious and influential cocktails not previously covered.

From the origins of the Mint Julep to the story of the Cocktail itself, Wondrich's book provides a unique and engaging look at the world of pre-Prohibition tippling. With its good-humored tone and wealth of information, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their mixology skills or simply appreciate the history behind a well-made drink.
