BOURBON IS MY COMFORT FOOD
THE LITTLE BOOK OF WHISKEY COCKTAILS
KENTUCKY MOONSHINE
From award-winning Louisville-based mixologist, Bourbon Women Board of Directors chair, and Cocktail Contessa blogger Heather Wibbels comes Bourbon Is My Comfort Food: The Bourbon Women Guide to Fantastic Cocktails at Home. This guide provides instructions on cocktail mixing and building a home bar, plus information on various flavor combinations, infusions and garnishes.
In The Little Book of Whiskey Cocktails, scheduled for release by the University Press of Kentucky on Aug. 23, author Bryan Paiement features 40 classic whiskey cocktail recipes and 10 original recipes—including The Godfather, a tribute to Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 film masterpiece of the same name.
Moonshine has been produced in Kentucky since the area that makes up the Commonwealth was still part of Virginia. First published in 1974, Kentucky Moonshine is a lighthearted look at the history of the spirit, how moonshine was made, and the geography of moonshining.
Slated for release on May 3, the book contains more than 140 recipes that are not limited to bourbon but include cocktails made with vodka, gin, rum and tequila. Published by the University Press of Kentucky, the hardback retails for $27.95.
Paiement provides details of the cocktails’ origins while sharing stories of the whiskey-making world. This entertaining pocketsize book also includes a guide to bar tools and various ways in which the spirit can be mixed, savored and enjoyed. The 5- by 7-inch hardback retails for $14.95.
