At last, here's your excuse to catch up. Introducing
Let's Bring Back: The Cocktail Edition, a compendium
of long-forgotten libations due for a revival. Culled from
ancient times through the 1960s, these delectable vintage
cocktails are by turns fizzy and silken, sweet and tart,
lethal and prim. Some of them are absurd, several are
sentimental, while others are outright scandalous. They include: - Angel's Tit - Guaranteed to shock goody-goodies
- Du Barry - To get your mistress into the mood
- Green-Eyed Monster - To serve to frenemies
- Monkey Gland - An unlikely fountain of youth
- Runt's Ambition - Serve this to men with Napoleon Complex Throughout this illustrated tome, Lesley M. M. Blume
divulges colorful cocktail history and barroom wisdom
alongside one hundred and forty-four recipes that will
delight aperitif aficionados for years to come. Whether
you're toasting to an unexpected windfall, treating a
malediction, or simply need an occasion to let your hair
down, Let's Bring Back: The Cocktails Edition has the bevvy
for you.
