The libations in this intoxicating collection span some 200 years, from Europe to the Far East, and they're the drinks with the best tales to tell. Because--without a backstory--a cocktail is nothing more than spirits and mixers. But spike that drink with an anecdote about the people, places, and circumstances that influenced its creation, and imbibers are instantly transported. Step into a British officer's club in 1920s Burma to try the Pegu Club, disembark in colonial Bermuda to sample the original Dark &amp;amp; Stormy, or join F. Scott Fitzgerald and Cole Porter at The Ritz Hotel in Paris for a Royal Highball, among the many spirited adventures between these covers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The book itself is like a classic cocktail, with its iconic, vintage appeal. Mixed media illustrations by award-winning Danish artist Poul Lange feature vintage bottle labels, postcards, and magazine images. The illustrations are matched with simple recipes and deeply researched backstories for a new look at the world's most iconic cocktails. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than a sum of its parts,&lt;i&gt; Storied Sips&lt;/i&gt; is a book about living the good life, treating oneself to a dash of civilized escapism at the end of a busy day. Truly, there's nothing like a cocktail to strip away the dullness of the mundane, gilding an evening with a heightened glow, or adding cultured flair to a get-together with friends. Organized from light-bodied quenchers to rich, complex warmers, Storied Sips makes it easy to find cocktail inspiration any time of the year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

You&amp;rsquo;ll also find great ways to use homemade syrups to create soda fountain classics (Chocolate Egg Cream), great cocktails (Lovage Gin Fizz), and hot drinks (Hot Apple Spice Cup), all as delicious as they are distinctive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

And with the popularity of countertop appliances that turn tap water into sparkling water, it&amp;rsquo;s easier than ever to make the real thing in your own kitchen: simply mix a fresh soda syrup with bubbly water for a drink that&amp;rsquo;s as sweet (or not) as you like&amp;mdash;minus any artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In &lt;i&gt;Make Your Own Soda,&lt;/i&gt; you&amp;rsquo;ll find 70 recipes for all-natural syrups with unique, artisanal flavors like pineapple, lemongrass, and hibiscus, as well as old-time favorites like ginger, sarsaparilla, and grape. You&amp;rsquo;ll also find great ways to use homemade syrups to create soda fountain classics (Chocolate Egg Cream), great cocktails (Lovage Gin Fizz), and hot drinks (Hot Apple Spice Cup), all as delicious as they are distinctive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In those days, hard beverage options were usually made with homemade hooch and flavorings of dubious origin and quality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Thankfully, a cocktail renaissance has emerged in many of today&amp;rsquo;s bars, where inventive drinks showcase both the artistry and craft of bartending. At their moody and atmospheric West Village bar-restaurant Employees Only, master mixologists Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric can regale you with colorful tales of cocktail origins&amp;mdash;or just pour you a mean drink. In &lt;i&gt;Speakeasy&lt;/i&gt;, Kosmas and Zaric take their inspiration from traditional favorites, then use the finest spirits, the freshest ingredients, and a good measure of reverence for their craft to elevate the mixed drink to artisanal status.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than 80 imaginative libations that riff on the classics are showcased in this one-of-a-kind collection. Recipes emphasize fresh fruits and herbs, homemade syrups and infusions, and a careful balancing of flavors, with a mind toward seasonality. A Ginger Smash is offered in four different versions: kumquat, pineapple, pear, or cranberry, depending on the time of year. The Millionaire becomes the Billionaire with the addition of homemade grenadine and 107-proof bourbon. And the South Side becomes the West Side by replacing the gin with sun-kissed Meyer lemon&amp;ndash;infused vodka. With the specter of Prohibition firmly in the past, &lt;i&gt;Speakeasy&lt;/i&gt; shares recipes for the choicest potent potables, reimagining the finest drinks of yesterday for today&amp;rsquo;s thirsty imbibers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

(By the way, the short answer is no.) A unique blend of travelogue, spirits history, and recipe collection, &lt;i&gt;Boozehound&lt;/i&gt; explores the origins of what we drink and the often surprising reasons behind our choices. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;In lieu of odorless, colorless, tasteless spirits, Wilson champions Old World liquors with hard-to-define flavors&amp;mdash;a bitter and complex Italian &lt;i&gt;amari&lt;/i&gt;, or the ancient, aromatic herbs of Chartreuse, as well as distinctive New World offerings like lively Peruvian pisco. With an eye for adventure, Wilson seeks out visceral experiences at the source of production&amp;mdash;visiting fields of spiky agave in Jalisco, entering the heavily and reverently-guarded J&amp;auml;germeister herb room in Wolfenb&amp;uuml;ttel, and journeying to the French Alps to determine if mustachioed men in berets really handpick blossoms to make elderflower liqueur. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;In addition, &lt;i&gt;Boozehound&lt;/i&gt; offers more than fifty drink recipes, from three riffs on the Manhattan to cocktail-geek favorites like the Aviation and the Last Word. These recipes are presented alongside a host of opinionated essays that cherish the rare, uncover the obscure, dethrone the overrated, and unravel the mysteries of taste, trends, and terroir. Through his far-flung, intrepid traveling and tasting, Wilson shows us that perhaps nothing else as entwined with the history of human culture is quite as much fun as booze.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

From &lt;i&gt;Entertainment Weekly&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;USA Today&lt;/i&gt; to the Culinary Institute of America and the nation&amp;rsquo;s best restaurants, whenever anybody wants information or training on the bar, they turn to Dale for recipes, for history, for anecdotes, for fun&amp;mdash;for cocktail-party conversation as well as for cocktails.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s what &lt;b&gt;The Craft of the Cocktail&lt;/b&gt; is&amp;mdash;the full party, conversation and all. It begins with the history of spirits, how they&amp;rsquo;re made (but without too much boring science), the development of the mixed drink, and the culture it created, all drawn from Dale&amp;rsquo;s vast library of vintage cocktail books. Then on to stocking the essential bar, choosing the right tools and ingredients, mastering key techniques&amp;mdash;hints worthy of a pro, the same information that Dale shares with the bartenders he trains in seminars and through his videos. And then the meat of the matter: 500 recipes, including everything from tried-and-true classics to of-the-moment originals. Throughout are rich stories, vintage recipes, fast facts, and other entertaining asides. Beautiful color photographs and a striking design round out the cookbook approach to this subject, highlighting the difference between an under-the-bar handbook and a stylish, full-blown treatment. &lt;b&gt;The Craft of the Cocktail&lt;/b&gt; is that treatment, destined to become the bible of the bar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
