Setting a cocktail party apart from the others in the neighborhood is a difficult feat in 2023. It seems everyone knows how to create the perfect charcuterie board or unrivaled frozen margarita. Signature Cocktails by Amanda Schuster is a book sure to help entertainers, mixologists, and bartenders up their game and stand apart from the rest.
Signature Cocktails is more than a compilation of the world’s most popular cocktails. Books like that are available by the dozen on Amazon. This hardcover contains the recipes for 200 legendary cocktails from around the world. Each drink was carefully chosen based on how it changed the culture of the cocktail industry, whether in the past or present.
Signature Cocktails spans more than 600 years of interesting cocktail history, from the most classic drinks (think Bellinis and gin fizzes) to the hottest drinks at New York City’s trendiest bars this year. Each entry includes information on who created the drink, where it was invented, a cookbook-worthy image, and a recipe. A favorite add-on is that every drink includes a unique look into its history or current story.
It’s obvious why Signature Cocktails by Amanda Schuster was named to Food & Wine’s list of Best Cookbooks of Fall 2023. It’s available now on Amazon.
