Around the World in 80 Cocktails celebrates the globetrotting history
of the cocktail through eighty different iconic drinks - each of which
has its own story to tell. Bartender and writer Chad Parkhill takes you
on a whirlwind tour of the places that have shaped the history of the
cocktail from its birth to the present day, with recipes so you can
follow along at home.
You'll learn about the surprising military history behind the bubbly,
vivacious Venetian Spritz; how the G&T moved from India to England (and
why the best in the world are now made in Spain); and how France's
Burgundy region turned tragedy into triumph with the Kir. Accompanied by
gorgeous vintage-style illustrations that evoke antique travel posters,
these stories and recipes are an ode to the joys of travel, history, and
drinking.
