Shepherd is a community of 12,000+ authors and super readers sharing their favorite books with the world.
A cocktail book containing very approachable recipes and an imbibing guide through time travelling that offers a new set of classics. Amanda Schuster also squares a unique perspective as you flip through the pages of this beautiful catalogue of drinks, adding just the right amount of historical backdrop and data that fill in the holes of the origin of a cocktail without getting too far out for the civilian enthusiast. Listed chronologically, beginning in the year 1475 (!) to the present, “Signature Cocktails” will present a new appreciation for what goes into the birth of a classic cocktail and what makes it classic to begin with.

One of my favorites was of one collector who purchased an entire liquor store, sight unseen, in hopes of finding liquid gold.
