Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I found the history of bartending extremely boring. Maybe because I'm not that into cocktails. There's a bit of historical background context which makes it somewhat interesting. And of course there are the recipes. ( ) This was a great companion read to Jerry Thomas's original "How to Mix Drinks", kudos to J. for the awesome combo present. :-) This book expands upon the 1800's version, updating things, giving some more history and adding in lots of new cocktails. I made the brandy cocktail from this book (not sure why I didn't make it from the original) and it was delicious. no reviews | add a review

"A lively, historically informed, and definitive guide to classic American cocktails. Cocktail writer and historian David Wondrich presents the colorful, little-known history of classic American drinks--and the ultimate mixologist's guide--in this engaging homage to Jerry Thomas, father of the American bar. Wondrich reveals never-before-published details and stories about this larger-than-life nineteenth-century figure, along with definitive recipes for 100 punches, cocktails, sours, fizzes, toddies, slings, and other essential drinks, plus twenty new recipes from today's top mixologists, created exclusively for this book. This colorful and good-humored volume is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the timeless appeal of a well-made drink--and the uniquely American history behind it"--Publisher description.
