Bourbon Mixology: 50 Bourbon Cocktails from 50 Iconic Bars (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990606055)

The key to a great bourbon cocktail is to produce a drink which complements the flavor profile of the bourbon and doesn't mask it. After all, we're not talking about any old hooch here. Bourbon is the all-American spirit created and made in the United States of America. It truly is our contribution to the world of distilled spirits. Author Steve Akley has gathered 50 unique bourbon cocktails from 50 iconic bars. In fact, it's actually 53 unique cocktails from 52 iconic bars but that title just didn't sound as good. One submitted two cocktails that fit in its chapter and two other locations submitted cocktails after the book was complete but prior to the final layout being completed. Steve elected to include them and figures they are a great "value add" taking the cocktail count beyond the stated amount. By the way, we're not talking the "same old/same old" here. We're talking about signature cocktails from some of the greatest drinking establishments in the United States.
