More new cocktails—and good ones—have been invented in the past thirty years than during any period since the first golden age of cocktails (the 1870s until the arrival of Prohibition in 1920), which saw the birth of the Martini, Manhattan, Daiquiri, and Tom Collins.
This book includes recipes for more than sixty easy-to-make drinks that have earned their status in the echelon of modern classics, from the Espresso Martini to the White Negroni, Death Flip, Old Cuban, and Paper Plane, along with each drink's recipe origin story. You'll also find a handful of critics' choices—potential classics that have the goods to become popular go-to cocktails in the future.
