Cocktails have always had a stronghold in America's Dairyland. This
highly illustrated volume uncovers the true stories behind the state's
obsession with brandy, ice cream drinks, and a smorgasbord of garnishes.
Beyond delving into mythic origins of several classic creations,
Jeanette Hurt introduces a new generation of cocktails that offer a spin
on standard concoctions. She explores the state's unique farm-to-table
ethos influenced by an abundance of locally sourced ingredients. Also
included are a wealth of interviews with notable mixologists, sharing
numerous favorite recipes for specialty pick-me-ups that connoisseurs
and home bartenders alike will be clamoring to try. A definitive account
of the beverages we love, Wisconsin Cocktails insists we order our Old
Fashioneds the right way--with brandy.
