Learn about the history of bitters and how the industry has changed over the last 150 years. My favorite part of the book is the instructions and recipes for making your own bitters. There are many bitters recipes offered in the book, and the author encourages experimentation with his basic bitters-making process. The last part of the book is a section on the author’s favorite cocktails. There are classics and new drinks that are sure to please everyone.Parson’s “Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas” has something for everyone. I highly... more recommend it to anyone who is interested in hand-crafted cocktails.
review 2: Filled with beautiful photographs and recipes for bitters and classic cocktails, Brad Thomas Parsons weaves together the history and current affairs of bitters. While boutique bitters are now practically ubiquitous, many recipes were near extinction after prohibition, with only two or three companies maintaining production. Even during this current bitters revival, Angostura is arguably the most recognizable of all bitter bottles behind the bar. If you are questioning that oversized Angostura label, looking for long-lost recipes, or trying to build a bar at home, you will appreciate Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All. less
