Little book of classic cocktails

Meer over het boek

Ever since the trend began in the 1800s, cocktails haven't gone out of style. They're so popular that new combinations appear every day. But these drinks are the timeless winners, the ones with a rich history and culture, the classics that continue to inspire bartenders and drinkers the world over. Here are recipes for the perfect Dry Martini; a basic, nonfruit Daiquiri; plus a Screwdriver, Manhattan, Brandy Sidecar, White Lady, Cosmopolitan and more. Chill out with a Sea Breeze, Harvey Wallbanger, or Long Island Iced Tea. Go for something exotic--perhaps a rich Brandy Alexander, a Caipirinha from Brazil, or a minty Grasshopper. Tips, anecdotes, and delightful trivia on the origins of the names complete this perfect companion for cocktail lovers.
