Synopsis

This is the definitive guide to the best cocktails and the bars that made them great - the world's hottest, and coolest, places to be seen. Imagine sipping a sophisticated Bellini while watching the gondolas glide by on Venice's Grand Canal, or swinging the night away in Seoul with the sounds of Nat King Cole in your ears and a Dizzy Gillespie on the tip of your tongue. Now you can recreate these amazing experiences for yourself with the cocktail-lover's ultimate accessory of the year. Delicious recipes feature alongside their creators, the movers and shakers who drank them, and the bars they are synonymous with, each one beautifully captured by historical and contemporary photography.
