CocktailStory

How many of us are used to drinking the "usual" cocktail because our old friend orders it?
Sometimes we may even try something new, but we are sure it is not because it is a trendy bar to offer it, perhaps with a captivating design?
Obviously there is nothing wrong but ... we rarely stop to think about the tradition and the meticulousness that, through years of experiments and experiences, leads to improve often very unique drinks, dating back to the beginning of the last century, with their story behind them.
So why not rediscover them or try to make them at home, using ingredients available today but trying to respect as much as possible the original recipe?
This is CocktailStory ... hundreds of recipes by Robert Vermeire, Harry MacElhone, Harry Craddock, William Boothby ... but also Jerry Thomas (The Professor), Harry Johnson, George Keppeler, J.A. Grohusko ... notes and curiosities about the cocktail and its ingredients, without losing sight of the sources and the variations. All accompanied by the beautiful photos of Ezio Falconi, bartender of the Arimo American Champagne in Treviglio (BG) Italy, and the support of the Lord Nelson Pub in Chiavari (GE) Italy.
Then a section dedicated to historical bartenders and research .. do you want a low-graded cocktail because you have to drive to go home? Do you want an average sweet drink? Look for and you will find ...
Have fun, have a good read and above all .. drink responsibly and always be demanding in what you ask your barman.
