Food and Wine Cocktails 2005
The Best Drinks from America's Hottest Bars, Lounges and Restaurants
Description:... Ralse a glass to Food & Wine's first-ever tribute to the cocktall, a slim, paperback companion to the magazine's popular Official Wine Guide. In addition to offering 200 signature drinks from America's most exciting restaurants, bars and lounges, it contains definitive recipes for the classics. As a scene-scoping, style-setting, modern magazine, Food & Wine always keeps tabs on the trendiest nightlife. These cocktails are the ones making a sensation in the newest, hippest eateries and bars throughout America, the drinks bartenders get asked for again and again. At that's not all: mix-masters won't find better recipes for such traditional favourites as Manhattans, martinis and mojitos. Each of the chapters will focus on a particular spirit type -vodka, rum, whiskey - and every page highlights one special cocktail, along with a short description of the establishment that provided the recipe, and an interesting behind-the-scenes anecdote. There's also useful information on such drink accompaniments as cocktail snacks, complete with sample recipes, and a Cocktail Clinic, which gives tips on how to throw a great cocktail party, with details on stocking the bar and glassware.
