À propos de cet audio

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 19th-century spirits, many new and colorful anecdotes and details about Thomas' 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Granted there is a foreword, an intro, and a chapter 2 about the history of bartending. But this is primarily a cookbook without the recipes, meaning that you'll get the brief description that usually precedes a recipe. And that's it. The recipe isn't actually even narrated, not that it would even be useful to have it provided in this form anyways. For what it's worth, the narrator is pretty decent in this, although a bit flat or lacking dynamic contrast in his narration.

Long story short, get the print version.
