From the creator of Gin Monkey, an impartial and independent online guide to good cocktails, Emma Stokes’s The Periodic Table of Cocktails is a fun, concise, and appealingly geeky new concept to cocktail appreciation.
The foundation of this book is a periodic table organized by cocktail styles (Martinis and Up, Fruity/Tropical, Highballs/Muddles, Collinses/Fizzes, etc.) and by predominant base alcohols across the chart’s rows (vodka, gin, tequila, etc.). If you like one cocktail in the table, you should enjoy all the cocktails that surround it.
The Periodic Table of Cocktails also offers the background history and make-it-yourself recipe for each of the more than 100 “elements” or cocktails.
