A collection of 200 iconic drinks from around the world, each of which has changed the culture of cocktails. A signature cocktail is a custom drink that expresses the essence of the time, the person, or the place for which it was created. In this book, the author curates a collection of the most famous cocktails - from classic classics like the Bellini to the latest creations like the Twin Cities from New York's ultra-hip Dead Rabbit Bar. Signature cocktails have become an increasingly popular way to define the style and character of a celebrated establishment and the talented mixologists behind it. Each unique drink in this collection is accompanied by the name of the creator, the location and date of invention, as well as a specially commissioned image, an easy-to-understand recipe, and a fascinating insight into its unique history. This elegant and uniquely focused collection, covering nearly 600 years of cocktail history, will appeal to a wide range of readers - from cocktail lovers to anyone who enjoys entertaining, good food and culture, as well as mixologists, bartenders, and industry professionals.
