Celebratin­g the globetrott­ing history of the cocktail’s journey around the world, this colourfull­y-illustrate­d book features the stories and recipes of 80 cocktails. Bartender and writer Chad Parkhill takes you on a tour of the places that have shaped the history of the cocktail from the early 19th century through to the 21st, making you feel as though you can drink your way around the world without leaving your home bar. Featuring many favourite classics as well as some new recipes, each one comes with its own story. Learn about the surprising military story behind the bubbly Venetian Spritz, how the G&T moved from India to England and why the world’s best are now in Spain, and how France’s Burgundy turned tragedy into triumph with the Kir. The perfect companion for budding bartenders, travel enthusiast­s and cocktail lovers, it also offers tips on bartending techniques and equipment, and how to create a well-stocked bar at home.
