Comments on: Raiders of the Lost Cocktail #1 http://thespiritworld.net/2007/10/30/raiders-of-the-lost-cocktail-1/ Quenching your thirst with sips, nips and tipples. Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:10:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: The Spirit World - » Wad-O-Drinks Books http://thespiritworld.net/2007/10/30/raiders-of-the-lost-cocktail-1/#comment-56717 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 14:14:30 +0000 http://thespiritworld.net/2007/10/30/raiders-of-the-lost-cocktail-1/#comment-56717 [...] Here’s a concept. Since new cocktails are constantly coming out, some of which actually are worth letting folks know about, what about printing a cocktail compendium on an annual basis? Adding new drinks each year, updating (or correcting) previous recipes, and tweaking the format each year to try to address the needs of the bartenders and customers who rely on it? Well, that’s the concept behind the wildly successful series being published by Simon Difford from the UK. He’s up to volume 6, with volume 7 coming out soon. There are over two thousand recipes in these massive hard-bound tomes, each one clearly listed, with an accompanying photograph of the finished drink. The drinks are even given a nine degree rating, from “Disgusting” to “Exceptional”. And in the back of the book he lists a variety of different products, and the recipes included in the book which use it. Hmm… no listing for “Strega” though. Need to talk with Simon about that. [...] […] Here’s a concept. Since new cocktails are constantly coming out, some of which actually are worth letting folks know about, what about printing a cocktail compendium on an annual basis?
