Publishers Text

Author Ian Wisniewski, a leading writer on spirits cocktails, has the enviable job of travelling the globe to discover how the world parties, using drink as his magnifying glass. In Party Drinks he reveals all that he has discovered. He looks at why particular beverages (vodka, gin, scotch, etc) developed in different parts of the world, how they are drunk there and elsewhere, and details the local serving customs and drinking games. The chapters then offer an authoritative selection of cocktail recipes using the highlighted beverage. In all, Party Drinks contains 200 recipes for all types of events, plus advice on serving and knocking them back.

Recipes include classic cocktails such as Martinis and Cosmopolitans; fashionable Latin American blends such as Mojitos and Pisco Sours; and some of the more creative combinations, such as a Kiss Me Quick. For those who like to keep things simple, Ian has instructions for serving shots and using popular mixers, plus advice on selecting, storing, and serving beers and wines. No one should feel like they are missing out at a party, so great recipes for a variety of non-alcoholic drinks are also included. To make this the first truly comprehensive guide to party drinks, the book also incudes a chapter on hangover cures, including recipes for cocktails of fizzy vitamins and juices to the best "Hair of the Dog" treatments.
