Although many whiskeys are enjoyed straight, a surprising number of popular cocktails are made with whiskey as the primary ingredient, including the Manhattan, Irish Coffee, Mint Julep (official drink of the Kentucky Derby), and the first-ever cocktail, the Sazurac. The cute size and inclusion of 16 full color photos make this a great value. A small, (4 x 5) single-subject cocktail recipe book, this is one of five books in the series ( Vodka (F06), Whiskey (F06), Gin (S07), Rum (S07), and Tequila (S07)). Each book in the series contains 50 recipes written in a fun, breezy style for the amateur bartender. Also included is a short history of each alcohol and a short glossary of useful bar terms/slang.
