In his World Cocktail Atlas Olly Smith serves up the best cocktail recipes the world has to offer. From the prohibition-inspired speakeasy drinks of the US to the art of the Japanese Izakaya, Italian spritzes and amaro, Mexican margaritas, Korean soju sippers, Brazil’s many caipirinha-based classics, to Singapore slings and West Indian rum punches, every country has its own signature concoctions.
Arranged by region, the recipes take you on a global tour: journey around Asia with a Tokyo Mule, Tamarind Ginger Margarita or Soju Orange Seoul; in Europe sip on a Belgian Genever Punch, a Nordic Summer, a Normandie 75, a Frozen Aperol Spritz, or a Turkish delight. Travel the length and breadth of the Americas with Pineapple Mojito, Santo Libre, Mezcal Paloma, Reverse Manhattan, and Tiki Espressotini. Cool down with a Moroccan Mint Orange Julep, Zobo Martini, African Lullaby or Malawi Shandy. And evoke memories of sun-kissed holidays with an Aussie Beachcomber, Fijian Paradise or Tahitian Vanilla Punch. There are even non-alcoholic options for days off the booze.
With Olly’s insider knowledge and deft way with flavour combinations, you too can be transported to a beautiful beach or snowy peak, perfectly mixed drink in hand.
