Have you ever stepped up to a bar and wondered how to order a “real” drink-a drink that Clark Gable or Hemingway would have ordered, a drink that would assuage your nostalgia for a simpler era? Or maybe you just need to brush up on your bartender skills! I have selected a few books from Lemuria’s bountiful Bar and Beverage section to assist our Holiday shoppers this season. Below are my picks for a few cocktail books that will take you to a scene straight from The Great Gatsby  or A Farewell to Arms if you’re willing:

Vintage Cocktails by Laziz Hamani

With stunning pictures and a playful handmade look, this book is almost more fun to have on the coffee table than it would be on the bar!

Gatsby Cocktails

If you are needing a recipe for a an Old Fashioned or a Sazerac, look no further than this cute gift-sized cocktail book!

To Have and Have Another by Philip Greene

This Hemingway Cocktail Companion is a great guide to the cocktails of Hemingway’s day, with recipes and reading recommendations to boot!
