All enthusiasts agree: a cocktail is much more than a recipe. It's an atmosphere, a testament to an era, a secret alchemy, a mad wager on the constant creation of new gustatory, visual, and artistic sensations.
This book was conceived as an invitation to discover cocktail culture: its history and inspirations, which draw on all the arts (literature, cinema, architecture, music, dance, gastronomy, of course, and even painting); recipes from the classics to the latest innovations; flavors, spices, and syrups that are driving the revival of mixology. Truly, an open door to imagination and creation!
