New York Cocktails

Whether you're making drinks at home, or in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere, a new set of books has you covered for any occasion. From the great city of New York, to places far and away, here are some of the latest books to add to your cocktail collection.

Road Soda: Recipes and Techniques for Making Great Drinks Anywhere by Kara Newman

Once upon a time, a group of spirits journalists were notified their flight back to New York from Mexico was delayed 10 hours. One of them came up up with the genius idea to grab nearby hotel rooms — that was actually me. Not to be outdone, Kara Newman, Spirits Editor for Wine Enthusiast, came up with a better idea — impromptu Paloma Party! — using a sample bottle of tequila and going a vending machine raid for grapefruit-flavored soda, ice and corn chips. Road Soda expands the concept to an entire book of "how to MacGyver a cocktail" anywhere, using mini-bottles, sugar packets and even Sour Patch Kids, if need be. Whether employing a soda can as a mixing glass, chopsticks as a bar spoon, or resorting to a Capri Sun pouch, Newman shows how to create cocktails under any circumstance.

New York Cocktails by Amanda Schuster

Your cocktails should aim to look as good as this stylish book — one worth displaying next to your decanter and crystal glasses — and with Schuster's credentials, the substance is a given. Here, the Alcohol Professor's Editor-in-Chief explores over 100 cocktails, and their ties to New York City, along with spotlights on worthy bars, mixologists and other characters that make the city a great place for imbibing. If you're going to make Manhattans or Penicillins (or better yet, a Perfect Manhattan) this book adds the hometown pride. And while Schuster's book stands on its own, there are also two companion volumes by Cider Mill Press for cocktails from Paris and New Orleans.

By The Smoke & The Smell: My Search For The Rare & Sublime on the Spirits Trail by Thad Volger

Bay Area Restauranteur Thad Vogler (Bar Agricole, Trou Normand and Obispo) takes us on a world-wide journey for what he calls "grower spirits," those made in traditional ways by small producers. From Cognac to Cuba, and Scotland to Kentucky, Volger's travelogue provides insights into the people behind the bottles, and his own adventures along his path of discovery.
