In his World Cocktail Atlas, Olly Smith serves up the best cocktail recipes the world has to offer.
From the prohibition-inspired speakeasy drinks of the US to the art of the Japanese Izakaya, Italian spritzes and amaro, Mexican margaritas, Korean soju sippers, to Singapore slings and West Indian rum punches, every country has its own signature concoctions.
Arranged by region, the recipes take you on a global tour: in Europe sip on a White Negroni or a Greek Sidecar. Travel the length and breadth of the Americas with a Reverse Manhattan, Mezcal Paloma and Tiki Espressotini. Journey around East and Southeast Asia with a Tokyo Mary or Soju Orange Seoul. Cool down with a Moroccan Mint Orange Julep or Malawi Shandy. And evoke memories of sun-kissed holidays with an Aussie Beachcomber, Fijian Flirt and Tahitian Vanilla Punch.
With Olly's insider knowledge and deft way with flavour combinations, you too can be transported to a beautiful beach or snowy peak, perfectly mixed drink in hand.
