Inhaltsangabe

Hollywood Cocktails is a stylish little book about the great era of Hollywood classics and the cocktails and drinks typically served in these films. Each chapter deals with a different time of day or type of festivity: from an evening, pre-dinner cocktail hour to a celebratory breakfast or brunch. The origins of many cocktails are discussed, with entertaining anecdotes linking the drinks to the films in which they appear. There is also a section devoted to morning-after concoctions for soothing away over-indulgences of the night before. Sophisticated and stylish, yet fun and easy-to-follow, this book adds a new dimension to the art of mixing drinks, and will bring hours of pleasure to those who read and use it. - A stylish gift-book for anyone who loves classic movies - especially those produced during the golden age of Hollywood, with all the glamorous stars of the silver screen. - A stylish gift-book for anyone who loves classic movies - especially those produced during the golden age of Hollywood, with all the glamorous stars of the silver screen. - Contains brief histories of the world's most famous cocktails, the films in which they were served and their recipes
