Craft distilleries are popping up all over the United States, making whiskeys not just from corn, rye, and malted barley, but also from grains such as quinoa, blue corn, and triticale. Cocktail lovers, moving away from sweet and fruity flavor profiles, have embraced the earthy, bitter, savory notes that come from the “brown” spirits. In this collection, author Michael Dietsch reaches out to those cocktail drinkers with recipes both classic and original, in historical order.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe begins with colonial-era drinks such as Cherry Bounce and the Stone Fence, moving to early whiskey drinks like the Toddy and Julep, and then into the cocktail explosion of the Jerry Thomas era circa 1880s. This leads to the drinks of pre-Prohibition, Prohibition, and post-Repeal, and then to a section on the cocktail renaissance of the last 15 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Michael Dietsch writes, \"Whiskey is a spirit with a story,\" and he includes an overview and some history without losing sight of the pleasures in drinking the stuff. His cocktail recipes are also infused with stories, making this book a joy to both read and use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Michael Dietsch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCountryman Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7.3\" x 9.4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e216 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Reading: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eMichael Dietsch \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eis a writer, editor, and accidental bartender in Brooklyn.
