Synopsis
Now available for pre-order. Expected publishing date Dec. 2012. The story of this book is a humble and obsessive one. In preparing to host a 1960s-themed cocktail party, while researching the popular libations of the time, Stew Ellington became enchanted with the culture and history behind cocktails and spirits. He soon began mixing cocktails at home for fun, which led to a self-educating project of mixing 1,000 cocktail recipes and photo-documenting them, just for sh*ts and giggles. Inevitably, his survival instincts and the encouragement of friends persuaded him to try to make the project lucrative. And, lo, several years and well over 1,000 mixed drinks later, a book was born! Fueled by a passion for mixology, Stew has written, designed, shot all of the photography for, and self-published (with a little help from Kickstarter) what he believes is a uniquely helpful cocktail recipe book. He's come up with 68 creative lists with which to organize a large number of drinks and help you find what you're in the mood for while having a lot of fun doing it. The book is a comprehensive snapshot of the cocktail's great history as well as a document of what's happening right now in the world of mixology, which is currently experiencing a great renaissance. It's full of great classic drinks from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as current and cutting edge libations from some of the best bars and restaurants around the country and even around the world. Stew has taste-tested and star-rated all the recipes himself filtering out any undesirables and made them available to you at home in a practical guide, cutting your travel expenses by 100%! In addition to looking great and being highly giftable, the book has been designed for practicality and ease of use at the bar. The cover is laminated and the pages are gloss-varnished, providing great moisture resistance in the event of spills, drooling, etc.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Signed by author on title page. Nice cover. Interior text and images are clean throughout. Comb-binding is secure. Essential reference for the amateur and professional mixologist. Very helpful for menu development. And, in my opinion the most important feature is the author's grading system where he effectively includes only the recipes of cocktails that are "very good" or more. So there are no stinkers included. A revolutionary cocktail book whose time has come. Seller Inventory # S2-ELLINGTONSIGNED
