Vintage Cocktails: Retro Recipes for the Home Mixologist

Description

Anything you can mix and pour into a glass is now termed a "cocktail," but those drinks usually pale in comparison with the truly classic cocktails. Vintage Cocktails returns drinkers to an age of Manhattans, Pink Ladies, Gin Fizzes, and Whisky Sours. Included with the recipes are quirky cultural facts as well as serving suggestions, what to have stocked at your bar at all times, and how to cure the inevitable hangover.
