More new cocktails--and \u003ci\u003egood\u003c\/i\u003e ones--have been invented in the past thirty years than during any period since the first golden age of cocktails, which lasted from roughly the 1870s until the arrival of Prohibition in 1920 and included the birth of the Martini, Manhattan, Daiquiri, and Tom Collins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust as that first bar-world zenith produced a half-century of classic recipes before Prohibition, the eruption of talent over the past three decades has handily delivered its share of drinks that have found favor with arbiters on both sides of the bar. Among them are the Espresso Martini, White Negroni, Death Flip, Old Cuban, Paper Plane, Siesta, and many more, all included here along with each drink's recipe origin story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat elevates a modern cocktail into the echelon of a modern \u003ci\u003eclassic\u003c\/i\u003e? A host of reasons, all delineated by Simonson in these pages. But, above all, a modern classic cocktail must be popular. People have to order it, not just during its initial heyday, but for years afterward. Tommy's Margarita, invented in the 1990s, is still beloved, and the Porn Star Martini is the most popular cocktail in the United Kingdom, twenty years after its creation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book includes more than sixty easy-to-make drinks that all earned their stripes as modern classics years ago. Sprinkled among them are also a handful of critics' choices, potential classics that have the goods to become popular go-to cocktails in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Simonson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984857762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984857767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ten Speed Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2022","brand":"Robert Simonson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981315571967,"sku":"9781984857767","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f134f1a6-7470-4112-8c02-88efd07e5630.jpg?v=1683254869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-classic-cocktails-robert-simonson-9781984857767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
