? 还有比巴黎更适合喝酒的城市吗?浪漫之都,午夜时分在塞纳河边漫步,喝着鸡尾酒俯瞰埃菲尔铁塔的明亮灯光,在左岸咖啡馆边看书边消磨下午时光。无论你是在蒙帕纳斯大道(Montparnasse)的露台上享用早午餐时的含羞草,在Les Deux Magots餐厅享用晚餐前的美式咖啡,还是在午夜的哈利酒吧享受干邑白兰地(cognac digestif),这座光之城(City of Light)的酒吧几十年来一直在施展着它们的魔力。
?了解“美好时代”(Belle Epoque)中红磨坊(Moulin Rouge)全盛时期的经典之作,比如一开始香槟鸡尾酒和对苦艾酒的狂热,还有欧内斯特·海明威(Ernest Hemingway)在20世纪20年代的les annees folles时期所钟爱的酒——当然包括代基里酒(Daiquiri)和金里奇酒(Gin Rickey)。在美国禁酒令时期,许多调酒师离开纽约到欧洲开酒吧,这导致了现在传奇的Harry McElhone在巴黎的Harry's New York酒吧的鸡尾酒创作,如血腥玛丽和Sidecar。
Parisian Cocktails transports you to the intoxicating world of the Parisian bar scene and shows you how to create the drinks that have inspired the creativity of numerous writers, thinkers and artists.
Is there any better city to drink in than Paris? City of romance, of midnight strolls by the Seine, of cocktails à deux overlooking the bright lights of the Eiffel Tower, of afternoons whiled away with a book in a Left Bank café. Whether you're sipping a Mimosa over brunch on a terrace on the Boulevard Montparnasse, enjoying an Américano before dinner at Les Deux Magots, or indulging in a late-night cognac digestif at Harry's Bar, the drinking holes of the City of Light have been working their magic for decades. You'll find Belle Epoque classics from the heyday of the Moulin Rouge, like the original Champagne Cocktail and the craze for absinthe, alongside the drinks beloved by Ernest Hemingway during les années folles of the 1920s – including, of course, the Daiquiri and Gin Rickey. During the Prohibition era in the US, many bartenders left New York to set up bars in Europe, resulting in the now-legendary cocktail creations of Harry McElhone at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, such as the Bloody Mary and the Sidecar. Discover, too, the favorites of the Left Bank intellectuals of the 1940s, the essential fuel for late-night discussions in the nightspots of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, as well as the resurgence in popularity of cocktails in the modern-day bar scene of the Marais district.
With 50 recipes divided into chapters covering all-day cocktails; aperitifs; gin and vodka-based cocktails; rum, Cognac and whisky-based cocktails; and digestifs and late-night classics, along with 15 recipes for the most soignée small bites to serve alongside them, the book will sprinkle a little Parisian magic over your next soirée. Packed with tips on how to improve your cocktail-making prowess and fascinating stories from the days of decadence, it will help you capture the sophisticated spirit of golden-age Paris, that most inspiring city of cocktails.
