From Booklist
As a source for the origin of specific cocktails, nothing beats David Wondrich's esquire Drinks. In humorous yet informative prose, Wondrich outlines the history of both familiar and old-fashioned cocktails, such as the martini, sloe gin fizz, Moscow mule, sidecar, and between the sheets. Not only do these essays yield helpful answers to reference queries but Wondrich's authoritative cocktail recipes provide the bartender with guides to the original product and to possible variations. An opening essay on ingredients and techniques makes this a requisite volume for the serious mixologist. Mark Knoblauch

Anyone can lift a glass—but drinking with class, taste, and wisdom is a completely different matter.

Wondrich simply provides the liveliest history of drinks imaginable, serving up wit and wisdom that will help you sort out the classic from the crass and master the fundamentals of mixology. The highlight: the delicious drinks themselves. The recipes, with loads of information and variants, appear on pages brightened with vintage photos that perfectly capture the spirit of each cocktail. There are daiquiris, amusingly named gin drinks like “William Seabrook’s Asylum,” a Whiskey Sour, Margarita, Vodka Martini, and a barfull more!
