About the book

From the historic Boulevardier in Paris to a Bramble in New Orleans and a Papaya Margarita in the back of a van in the Oaxaca mountains, this is a spirited adventure through the world's best cocktails. The Cocktail Diaries includes chapters on Sam's Top 10 all-time favourites, 'Simple and Timeless' recipes for those easy crowd-pleasers, and 'Complex and Conversational' for something a bit more sophisticated. There's also a final section, 'Made by Friends', featuring imaginative recipes created by international bartenders for Sam and his brand Sassenach Spirits. Sam's expertise and enthusiasm shine through as he regales tales of tasting cocktails around the globe and delights in sharing his favourite adventures – and drinks! – with the reader.
