THE OLD-FASHIONED; The Story of the World's First Classic Cocktail, with Recipes and Lore
California: TEN SPEED PRESS, 2014. Hardcover. 167 pages. 21 x 14.5 cm. No single cocktail is as iconic, as beloved, or as discussed and fought-over as the Old-Fashioned. Its formula is simple: just whiskey, bitters, sugar and ice. The Old-Fashioned is the spirited, delightfully unexpected story of this renowned and essential drink: its birth as the ur-cocktail in the nineteenth century, darker days in the throes of Prohibition, re-ascension in the 1950s and 1960s (as portrayed and re-popularized by Don Draper on Mad Men), and renaissance as the star of the contemporary craft cocktail movement. Illustrated throughout. Pristine. Color illustrated boards. Fine. Item #4722
