An enlightening field guide to the cocktail renaissance and the one cocktail book everyone needs. Written by Paul Clarke, the executive editor of Imbibe, and inspired by his pioneering blog, 'The Cocktail Chronicles' is neither a lab manual nor a historical thesis as it offers mixology for the masses in Clarke's engaging and never-overwhelming manner. The 200+ featured recipes all share a common deliciousness and an important role in the thriving cocktail renaissance. Informative, fascinating, and bound by Clarke's enthusiasm for great yet approachable drinks, 'The Cocktail Chronicles' celebrates the cocktail renaissance and its continuing revolution without making things overly complex or precious. Life is already complicated; a good drink doesn't need to be.
