The Cocktail Chronicles

The Cocktail Chronicles is mixology for the masses. Written by Paul Clarke, the executive editor of Imbibe, The Cocktail Cocktails is an enlightening field guide to the cocktail renaissance that's never overwhelming and always welcoming. It's not a lab manual for taking the cocktail experience to a molecular level; nor is it an historical thesis tracing the origins of the drinks we enjoy today. Instead, The Cocktail Chronciles is a collection of approachable and easily replicable drinks that all share the same thing: a common deliciousness and a key role--fully explained in Clarke's engaging manner--in the ongoing and thriving cocktail renaissance. Informative, fascinating, and bound by Clarke's belief that cocktails should be fun, The Cocktail Chronicles celebrates the breadth of the cocktail renaissance and it's continuing revolution without making things overly complex or precious. Life's too complicated; thanks to The Cocktail Chronicles, a good drink doesn't need to be.
