The Art of the Bar: Cocktails Inspired
by the Classics by Rob Schwartz
Taking Cocktails To New Heights
From Tokyo to New York, a cocktail renaissance is happening as bar chefs
create delicious elixirs worthy of their kitchen counterparts. An epicenter of
this barroom artistry can be found at the Absinthe Brasserie & Bar in San
Francisco (a city that spends more money per capita on alcohol than any
other in the country). Bartenders Jeff Hollinger and Bob Schwartz share
their artisan approach for stunning creations that unveil a new spectrum of
flavors. Fresh herbs and even aromatic lavender are deftly used to
augment classic and new cocktail recipes. Syrups and mixes are carefully
crafted from scratch, ensuring small-batch perfection and a harmony of
flavors. Acclaimed photographer Frankie Frankeny captures their virtuoso
mixing performances with a refreshing take on the cocktail, creating a
showpiece for any living room.

Personal Review: The Art of the Bar: Cocktails Inspired by the
Classics by Rob Schwartz
When a close friend took us to Absinthe on our last visit to San Francisco
we had no idea what a wonderful treat awaited us. Knowing nothing about
the bar, the staff, or this book we ordered a vodka tonic! It was hard not to
be stunned by the authors of this amazing and beautifully illustrated book
as they mixed, stirred and shook their way around a great bar and
restaurant. They mixed cocktails drinks with panache, style and class.
They were memorizing!
As is this book; which I have already purchased as a gift for several
friends. It contains solid facts and information on cocktail essentials; from
building your liquor collection to picking the right glasses and equipment. It
it full of both classic and original recipes, together with ideas for how to
develop your own original cocktail. A coffee table book that should be on
every bar!
If you know someone who really enjoys a sophisticated and elegant bar
and already has both sweet and dry vermouth in their collection of liquor -
buy it for them immediately.
