COCKTAILS ANGLAIS

There's so much more to serving a cocktail than it being shaken, not stirred. Glamorous and exuberant, more than any other drink, the cocktail has a place in our social culture that stylishly evolves as the years go by. From classic scenes in old Hollywood films like The Thin Man to Carrie Bradshaw's Cosmopolitans, the cocktail has become a character to be interpreted and reinterpreted. A celebrity in her own right, Amy Sacco - the ultimate cocktail cognoscente - restores the spirit of this very sexy drink, sharing favorite recipes from her exclusive restaurant and nightclubs. Credited with converting New York City's Chelsea into the go-to party destination, Sacco also reminisces on the most important "cocktail" moments of the past decade and offers tips on how to serve them with flair.
