David Wondrich aus New York ist der wichtigste Cocktailhistoriker unserer Zeit, wird auf der Liste der einflussreichsten Menschen der Bar-Industrie dieses Jahr auf Rang fünf geführt und ist einer der Hauptverantwortlichen dafür, dass die Cocktail-Renaissance das passende Fundament bekam. David Wondrich lässt die wichtigen Figuren der Vergangenheit wiederauferstehen, allen voran natürlich Jerry Thomas, den Verfasser des ersten Cocktailbuchs überhaupt, aber auch viele andere, und wir müssen neidlos anerkennen, dass wir auf den Schultern von Riesen stehen. Er untersucht die alten Rezepte, beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklungsgeschichte der Spirituosen und beweist, wie mühelos viele Drinks von damals die Zeiten überstanden haben – die angepassten Rezepte liefert er gleich mit. Wondrichs Buch ist ein Grundlagenwerk, dessen Lektüre in vielen US-amerikanischen Bars zur Grundvoraussetzung für eine Anstellung gehört.

Killer Cocktails is a unique hands-free, stand-up guide with all the advice and guidelines you need to set up a home bar and learn the art of mixing cocktails the right way. The drinks you'll find in here avoid novelty products, artificial flavors, and colors not found in nature. They're heavy on tradition and light on trendiness. You also might learn a thing or two, from the origins of the John Collins (no Toms, Dicks, or Harrys here) to why the Daiquiri should be resurrected from its status as the wimp of all cocktails (it was JFK's fave, after all).And that's not all. While respecting the traditions of balance and simplicity that our mixological forefathers founded, Killer Cocktails also shows you how to be creative. First you master the basics and only then can you start substituting vanilla vodka for rum, or rhubarb for raspberry. But if you're simply in the mood for a Rye Old-Fashioned, the real recipe is right here.
