Although many whiskeys are enjoyed straight, a surprising number of popular cocktails are made with whiskey as the primary ingredient, including the Manhattan, Irish Coffee, Mint Julep (official drink of the Kentucky Derby), and the first-ever cocktail, the Sazurac. The cute size and inclusion of 16 full color photos make this a great value. A small, (4 x 5) single-subject cocktail recipe book, this is one of five books in the series (Vodka (F06), Whiskey (F06), Gin (S07), Rum (S07), and Tequila (S07)). Each book in the series contains 50 recipes written in a fun, breezy style for the amateur bartender. Also included is a short history of each alcohol and a short glossary of useful bar terms/slang.
