Cocktailian, which comes from cock | tail | ian, the [engl.]: cocktail bartender, person who is passionate about cocktails, is what I would consider every layman’s cocktail bible! Released by Tre Torri, the whimsical high-quality handbook comes in classy black and silver faux-leather cover and offers not only amazing cocktail recipes, but also goes waaaay deeper into the subject matter!
By featuring the history of alcohol, different techniques on how to prepare your drinks, information about the ingredients, insightful essays by educated authors like Angus Winchester, David Wondrich and Gerry Reagan, this handbook is the perfect gift for anybody interested in cocktails and all that comes with it.
You can buy the 528-page Cocktailian (sorry, german only) for only 39,90 here. A modern classic for beginners, we love it and will be mixing some Gin Fizz now – or rather a Queen’s Park Swizzle? So hard to decide…
