The Elemental Mixology books contain a multitude of classic, popular,
rare and custom drinks. Book one contains the introduction and
ingredient fabrication section, plus the following genres of drinks:
Thoroughbreds, Grogs, and Slings. By returning to the tradition of
understanding drinks by types, these are the only current books that let
the reader look up drinks even if not knowing their name - nor even
knowing for sure whether they already exist. All are prepared, according
to the principles of traditional American mixology. Recommended liquor,
glassware and tools required for making each type of drink is indicated
throughout the book. There are also sections the history of the types
of, and often specific, drinks. The complete set of books one and two
are needed for coverage of all types of drinks.
