Sail away on the most stylish of booze cruises, all from the comfort of your own home!
In his World Atlas of Cocktails Olly Smith serves up the best cocktail recipes the world has to offer. From the prohibition-inspired speakeasy drinks of the US to the art of the Japanese Izakaya, Italian spritzes and amaro, Mexican margaritas, Korean soju sippers, Brazil’s many caipirinha-based classics, to Singapore slings and West Indian rum punches, every country has its own signature concoctions.
Arranged by region, the recipes take you on a global tour: journey around Asia with a Tokyo Mule, Tamarind Ginger Margarita or Taipei Summer Sour; in Europe quaff a Belgian Genever Punch, a Nordic Summer, a Normandie 75, a Frozen Aperol Spritz, or a Turkish delight. Travel the length and breadth of the Americas with Pineapple Mojito, Santo Libre, Mezcal Paloma, Reverse Manhattan, and Tiki Espressotini. Cool down with a Moroccan Mint Orange Julep, Zobo Martini, African Lullaby or Malawi Shandy. And evoke memories of sun-kissed holidays with an Aussie Beachcomber, Fijian Paradise or Tahitian Vanilla Punch. There are even non-alcoholic options for days off the booze.
With Olly’s insider knowledge and deft way with flavour combinations, you too can be transported to a beautiful beach or snowy peak, perfectly mixed drink in hand.
