A tribute to the spirits and drinking traditions of the South through
a leading barwoman's glass, with 80 recipes and photos.
IACP AWARD WINNER
Craft cocktail maven Alba Huerta succinctly tells the story of drinking
in the South through themes such as "Trading with the Enemy," "the Rural
South," "the Drinking Society," "the Saltwater South," and others that
anchor the menu at her destination bar, Julep. With historical
overviews, 15 bar snack recipes, and 65 bespoke cocktail recipes,
ranging from the iconic Mint Julep (and variations such as Rye Julep and
Sparkling Julep) to modern inventions like the Snakebit Sprout, Liquid
Currency, and Hot July, Huerta recounts the tales and traditions that
define drinking culture in the American South today. Approximately 80
evocative cocktail and location photographs convey the romance and style
that distinguish Julep and serve to inspire beverage enthusiasts to
relive Southern history via the bar cart.
