Nyc Cocktails

NYC Cocktails by Kathryn Maier is a lively cocktail book that maps New York City’s drinking culture through stories you’ll want to share and recipes you’ll actually make. Part history, part home bartending guide, it’s ideal for anyone who likes their drinks with a side of context. Across more than 60 cocktail recipes, Maier traces the city’s signature sips from 19th-century hotel bars—think the Manhattan, Martini and Clover Club—into the Prohibition years, when speakeasy favourites like the Bloody Mary and Mary Pickford slipped into the spotlight. From there, the book moves through late-20th-century icons such as the Cosmopolitan, before landing in today’s NYC bar scene, with modern classics inspired by venues like Dead Rabbit and Death & Co. Perfect for curious beginners, seasoned mixology fans, and travellers chasing a New York City setting from their kitchen bench. Add it to your shelf and start mixing your way through the city, one glass at a time.
