Cocktails
Maria Costantino
Published by Silverdale Books
LE 95
The first documented mixed drink dates from the Middle Ages: in the 14th century, "bragget" was a mix of mead (a honey-based liqueur still made in part of England) and ale. Many of the liqueurs used in cocktails today, such as Benedictine and Chartreuse, have their origins in the late Middle Ages, when monks were herbalists and apothecaries, administering to the sick with medical tinctures and elixirs. A cocktail is defined as a mixed drink of a spirit, bitters and sugar. This book starts with an introduction to the history of cocktails, instructions on cocktail basics, equipment and how to keep a well-stocked bar, followed by over two hundred of the most delicious cocktail drinks for any special occasion.
