Tropical Standard tracks the evolution of cocktails that evoke the warm parts of the world. Each meticulously detailed recipe represents the creative DNA of thousands of bartenders over more than a century. It's a dazzling work that will give you new powers, whether warm sunny days are outside your door or only in your mind.--Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of the Brooklyn Brewery and editor-in-chief of The Oxford Companion to Beer
