Micah LeMon is bar manager at the James Beard Award–nominated Alley Light and writes a column on craft cocktails for C-Ville Weekly.
The Imbible is the sensible playbook drinkers and home bartenders
have long desired.... Each chapter of this refreshing tome flows
seamlessly into the next, making this a light read you can knock
out in one sitting. Drinking while reading is encouraged. --author
of Pen + Knife
A handsome guide that shows how to make sophisticated, classic
mixed drinks as well as new concoctions; it includes a splash of
history, a liquor tutorial and tips for budding mixologists hoping
to invent their own. --author of Los Angeles Times
If you've ever watched LeMon behind the bar at The Alley Light in
Charlottesville, you know that he's a master mixologist and an
engaging ambassador for cocktail culture. --author of Edible Blue
Ridge
LeMon has compiled his cocktail wizardry into a book called The
Imbible... LeMon said he took a break from bartending about a
decade ago... But the pull of mixing drinks lured him back, and
eight years ago, he decided to get serious about bartending as a
career. He said that decision corresponded with the public's
increased interest in cocktail making technique and theory. His
book is aimed at those with that curiosity. --author of CBS 19
Teaching cocktails via patterns is one of the most effective and
efficient ways to advance any novice bartender, and I appreciate
Micah LeMon's approach to this book as a teacher myself. His
passion for cocktails translates to his writing, and he has a
lovely way of engaging the reader with bits of history and stories.
This book will appeal to bartenders, industry professionals, and
enthusiasts alike. --Tyler Hudgens, bar director, The Dabney,
Washington, D.C.
Touted as a starter guide for home bartenders, it breaks down the
necessary tools and techniques and how to bend the rules once you
learn them. --author of The Local Palate
