Absinthe Cocktails is the first book devoted entirely to cocktails made with barely-legal absinthe. Since this spirit was legalised in the U.S. in 2007, the absinthe category has exploded with 34 new brands introduced in 2008 and consumers willing to pay $50 for a bottle. This book has something to suit everyone's taste; traditionalists will learn how to properly mix absinthe like an old pro with 30 recipes for classic cocktails, while modern absinthe lovers can experiment with 20 contemporary drink formulas from the world's best and most mimicked bartenders and bars such as Los Angeles's Varnish and the Lonsdale in London. Includes 24 photos of drinks and 12 photos of absinthe ephemera and equipment for the true enthusiast or new-and-curious. Absinthe Cocktails gives going green an entirely new meaning!
