Cocktails & Kicktails Summary

Cocktails & Kicktails: Recipes and Rhymes to Lift Body and Soul by Hugh Stewart

This beautifully illustrated book contains twenty-three cocktail recipes, each accompanied by a humorous poem and back-story behind its creation. The book was inspired by a delightfully witty poem by Ogden Nash called A Drink With Something In It and each of the poems in the book follows the same rhyming pattern. Also included are tips on ingredients and the cocktail making paraphernalia needed to make the perfect cocktail. The book ends appropriately enough with some rather unorthodox hangover cures. The book's title? One of legendary actress Mae West's famous lines was: This kicktail's got a cock like a mule. In Hugh's family, cocktails have always been known as kicktails. The book is accompanied by an App, downloadable to smartphone or tablet, that contains 400 recipes for cocktails and alcohol-free mocktails, including all of the recipes in the book. It contains a host of useful features to plan your cocktail party with panache.

Cocktails & Kicktails Reviews

This is an engaging and entertaining collection. If some of Hugh's 'innovations' are half as good as his Breachacha Prayer I will abandon Scotch...- Charles Maclean M.B.E., Master of the Quaich;An infusion of whimsey garnished with doggerel and a twist of finesse, served long with a splash of savvy. This is a frisky and effortlessly elegant literary concoction highly recommended to all cocktail lovers.- Henry MacRory, journalist and author;I write a lot of obituaries and given the amount of burrling, cavorting and generally engaging in hazardous activities described in this marvelous book I may well be writing a few more. But what a way to go, powered into the next world by these delicious rocket fuel concoctions and tickled pink by a barmy rhyme. Cocktails and Kicktails lifts cocktailing to a new art form.- Sir Maxwell Macleod, polemicist;Mildly amusing- Author's wife

About Hugh Stewart

Hugh Stewart grew up in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland, in a remote cottage without electricity. It lies just 50 feet below the house that until recently was the highest in the country. Just 20 miles away as the grouse flies, lies Dufftown which has almost as many distilleries as houses. Here, the sought after Balvenie whisky is made from water that flows over the bones of Stewart ancestors. As a boy Hugh loved the stories of people building illicit whisky stills in the glens. These early influences led Hugh down the treacherous path of experimentation, the results of which are described in his forthcoming book Cocktails and Kicktails. Making his own whisky remains an ambition but for now Hugh's sticking with the cocktail shaker. By profession, Hugh is a wannabe writer and striving sailor. By hobby, and to finance his professions, he is a venture capitalist, an occupation described as someone who pours petrol on to a blazing fire. Bit like mixing cocktails.
