Description
In this sea breeze-fresh collection, master mixologist Garret Richard and award-winning cocktail writer Ben Schaffer provide detailed instruction on an incredible array of must-know drink techniques, including how to adjust acid and sugar, flash blend, handle carbonation, tackle tinctures and turn anything into a balanced syrup. Offering more than 100 recipes, they reimagine vintage cocktails and build the classics of the future, from the Beachcomber Negroni and Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai to the Winter in LA and Yacht Rock. These drinks honour founding legends such as Donn Beach, "Trader Vic" Bergeron, and Harry Yee as well as modern icons, including Dale DeGroff, Audrey Saunders, Julie Reiner and Dave Arnold. The book includes a short history of tropical drinks as well as a comprehensive overview of necessary tools, so both home bartenders and professionals can shake their creativity to new heights. This innovative compendium sets a new tropical standard.
