Can't tell a Gin Fizz from a Gimlet? Think a Sidecar is
something you'd see at the racetrack? If your idea of a wild
night is a few Lemondrop shots washed back with a Cosmo,
you're in need of some cocktail therapy! And there's no one
better to tell you everything you need to know about a
Brandy Crusta, a French 75, a Cachaça Swing, and much, much
more than Ti Adelaide Martin and Lally Brennan, who will
take you on a rip-roaring trip. . . . In the Land of Cocktails Proprietors of the legendary New Orleans restaurant
Commander's Palace, Ti and Lally are cocktail divas,
spread-ing the gospel about how to make drinks properly,
from why a true Sazerac can only be made with Peychaud's
bitters to why hand-chipped ice is best for cocktails. In
this marvelously entertaining book—both a guide to making
some of the world's best cocktails and a memoir of the
authors' lives surrounded by family, friends, and delicious
food—there are recipes for familiar classics like the Corpse
Reviver and the Old-Fashioned; New Orleans favorites like
Brandy Milk Punch and the Sazerac; and new inventions
created by Ti and Lally, such as their now-famous Whoa, Nellie! In the Land of Cocktails includes information on pairing
food with cocktails, introductions to the beloved,
boisterous Brennan family and their friends, and
explanations of some of the unique, perhaps strange to some,
words and ways of life in New Orleans. Filled with wit,
sass, warmth, and lots of good times, In the Land of
Cocktails is the ideal gift for cocktail lovers everywhere,
whether you're a novice or an old drinking pro.
