Overview
Warm tropical breezes, lazy days walking along the beach while steel drums tap out soft Caribbean rhythms; these are the images that rum brings to mind. A spirit born in the tropics, rum has captivated our imagination and earned a place among the most popular alcoholic beverages. Now with help from this fully illustrated guide, anyone can learn to mix rum with tropical fruits, juices and other spirits to create such classics as the Mai Tai, Hot Buttered Rum, or the Brass Monkey. Modern rum drinks are also featured, such as the Fluffy Duck, the Between the Sheets, and even the Bee's Kiss. In all, over 30 rum drinks are presented, along with insightful information about rum's history and lore.
Editorials
Library Journal
From the Havana Beach to the Mint Julep, these two petite collections of cocktail recipes offer a nice sampling of tempting libations. In addition to some snippets of history and a few practical ideas about making and serving cocktails, both of Biggs's books provide clear and easy-to-understand recipes for 32 different rum- or whiskey and bourbon-based drinks. Because of the focused and rather narrow range of each of these books, smaller public libraries will find neither one to be a practical substitute for other, more comprehensive books on cocktails, e.g., Katherine Williams's The Cultured Cocktail: 150 Classic Drinks from the Jazz Age to the Space Age or Dale DeGroff's much more expensive but truly essential The Craft of the Cocktail: Everything You Need To Know To Be a Master Bartender. Still, these cute, colorful, and inexpensive little books would be welcome additions to any medium or large public library where readers celebrate the cocktail hour.-John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.Book Details
