From Paul Clarke, editor of Imbibe and the 2014 Best Cocktail & Spirits
Writer comes The Cocktail Chronicles, an approachable guide to the
cocktail renaissance thus far and--as the name implies--a chronicle of
the cocktails that have come along the way. Based on his informative and
ground-breaking blog by the same name, The Cocktail Chronicles is not a
lab manual for taking the cocktail experience to a molecular level; nor
is it an historical monograph tracing the details of our forebears as
they developed and mixed the drinks we enjoy today. Instead, The
Cocktail Chronicles is a collection of approachable, and easily
replicable drinks that all share the same thing: a common deliciousness
and a role -- both big and small -- in the ongoing and thriving cocktail
renaissance. With helpful insight into glasses, tools, and basic
cocktail tips and techniques, The Cocktail Chronicles covers familiar
classics, back-from-the-dead obscurities, enduring classics and the
drinks they've inspired, and the contemporary cocktails the may well be
built to last. This is the cocktail guide that distills all the noise of
the current craze into one useful, accessible, and fun-to-read reference
that makes cocktails easy to enjoy.
