Description
The Philosophy of Cocktails by Jane Peyton Discover the fascinating history and evolution of cocktails, from their humble beginnings as medicinal tonics to the elaborate drinks of today's stylish clubs and bars. This book explores the journey of cocktails, tracing their path through China, the Middle East, the Americas, and the UK, and delves into the world of mixology, including the myriad ingredients, glassware, and paraphernalia that bartenders have at their disposal. From the ingenuity of bartenders who created the 'classics' in the 19th century, such as the Martini, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned, to the decadence of the Jazz Age and Roaring Twenties, this book uncovers the alchemy and speakeasy glamour of cocktails. With its unique blend of history, culture, and drink, The Philosophy of Cocktails is a must-have for anyone interested in the world of mixology.
