From Booklist:
As a source for the origin of specific cocktails, nothing beats David Wondrich's esquire Drinks. In humorous yet informative prose, Wondrich outlines the history of both familiar and old-fashioned cocktails, such as the martini, sloe gin fizz, Moscow mule, sidecar, and between the sheets. Not only do these essays yield helpful answers to reference queries but Wondrich's authoritative cocktail recipes provide the bartender with guides to the original product and to possible variations. An opening essay on ingredients and techniques makes this a requisite volume for the serious mixologist. Mark Knoblauch
