About the Book

Cocktail writer and historian David Wondrich presents the colorful, little-known history of classic American drinks--and the ultimate mixologist's guide--in this engaging homage to Jerry Thomas, father of the American bar. The first edition, published in 2007, won a James Beard Award. Now updated with newly discovered recipes and historical information, this updated edition includes the origins of the first American drink, the Mint Julep (which Wondrich places before the American Revolution), and those of the Cocktail itself. It also provides more detail about nineteenth-century spirits, many new and colorful anecdotes and details about Thomas's life, and a number of particularly notable, delicious, and influential cocktails not covered in the original edition, rounding out the picture of pre-Prohibition tippling. This colorful and good-humored volume is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the timeless appeal of a well-made drink--and the uniquely American history behind it.

About the Author :
David Wondrich is one of the world's foremost authorities on cocktails and their history, and one of the founders of the current craft cocktail movement. Esquire's long-time drinks correspondent, he also writes for a host of other magazines on the subject, and when he's not writing about it, he's probably lecturing on it--or resting his liver. Dr. Wondrich holds a PhD in comparative literature, is the winner of five Tales of the Cocktail Spirit Awards for his writing, and is a partner in Beverage Alcohol Resource, the world's leading advanced education program in spirits and cocktails. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. David Colacci is an actor and director who has directed and performed in prominent theaters nationwide. His credits include roles from Shakespeare to Albee, as well as extensive work on new plays. As a narrator, he has won numerous Earphones Awards, earned Audie Award nominations, and been included in Best Audio of the Year lists by such publications as Publishers Weekly, AudioFile magazine, and Library Journal. He was a resident actor and director with the Cleveland Play House for eight years and has been artistic director of the Hope Summer Rep Theater since 1992.

Review :
This book will leave you shaken and, I hope, stirred. Wondrich, one of the top spirits writers in the country, delves into the rich and fascinating history of mixology in America.-- "USA Today"
