Synopsis

They're fun to mix and fun to drink- these more than 140 cocktails and mixed drinks range from classics such as the martini and the Bloody Mary to exciting, fiery little shooters such as "Love Bite" and "Cactus Flower." This definative guide, chockfull of witty quotes and photos, looks back at the history of cocktail-making, highlights world-famous bars and bartenders, and offers invaluable ideas for stocking your own bar, hangover cures for the over-indulgent, and non-alcohol versions for drivers, children, and non-drinkers. But, the recipes are the pieces de resistance, and they include the Sidecar, Widow's Kiss, Singapore Sling, Volga Boatman, Rattlesnake, and Death in the Afternoon-a champagne-based trear. Along with the instructions for whipping up these delicious drinks, there are entertaining accounts of their origins and suggestions for garnishes.
