A helpful handbook with 100+ recipes for bartenders amateur or pro: “Unique concoctions for casual dinners or upscale holiday events.” —Lexington Herald-Leader

Interest in bourbon, America's native spirit and a beverage almost exclusively distilled in Kentucky, has never been greater. There are more brands of bourbon and more bourbon drinkers than ever before. The Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail Book is a reader-friendly handbook featuring more than 100 recipes including seasonal drinks, after-dinner bourbon cocktails, Derby cocktails, and even medicinal toddies.

The book’s introduction explains how the use of specific spirits and ingredients, glassware, and special techniques, such as muddling and infusions, accentuates the unique flavor of bourbon. Much of the book is devoted to recipes and instructions for the professional or at-home bartender, from classic drinks such as the Manhattan and the Mint Julep to drinks for special occasions, including the Candy Cane, Pumpkin Eggnog, and Kentucky Bourbon Sparkler. The authors complete the work with suggested appetizer pairings, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography of bourbon-related books.
