Synopsis: Choose your own cocktail adventure: Use the drinks you already love to explore a world of delicious new spirits, combinations, and flavors. You know what you like to drink—but what&’s next? Expert mixologist and James Beard Award-winning editorial director of Milk Street J.M. Hirsch has the answer in Pour Me Another, where every recipe helps you choose your next drink. Consider the rum Mojito. If that&’s your go-to, you might not consider yourself a bourbon drinker. But a whiskey Mint Julep delivers many of the same refreshing, minty notes. And from there it&’s a short jump to a vodka Mint Fizz, which livens things up with lemon and almond syrup. Or maybe you&’re a bourbon Old Fashioned drinker. Pour Me Another guides you to a gin Bijou, which brings in Manhattan-like notes. Then try a Vieux Carré, with herbal notes atop peppery rye. Soon you&’re sipping a Mexican Vieux Carré, which uses tequila for a similar rich and spicy effect. If a Gin & Tonic is more your speed, head toward tropical territory with a gingery Lime in de Coconut. Like that one? Go for a Coconut-Lime Daiquiri next. Everyone loves a Margarita, but have you tried the Manhattan-inspired La Rosita? Discover the versatility of vodka with a cousin to the Martini, in the botanical Stupid Cupid. No matter your taste or liquor of choice, Pour Me Another guides you to a new world of drinks you&’ll love. It&’s an essential handbook for cocktail lovers and home mixologists everywhere.
