How to Drink : From mulled cider to the first Pimms of summer - the indispensible guide to good living all year round
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Victoria Moore
Published by:
Granta Books
In the past few decades many of us have become foodies, but our new focus on flavour has been dominated by what we eat. In "How to Drink" Victoria Moore aims to redress the balance, by explaining how to drink well at all times of day, on all occasions, and across every season. Here are recipes for mint juleps in the spring, sloe gin in the autumn, hot buttered rum in the winter; and, year-round showstoppers, including the world's best G&T. "How to Drink" is unique among drinks books - neither a garish cocktail guide, nor an intimidating wine book. It's a hugely readable and beautiful handbook, that aims to inform, entertain, and, crucially, to ensure you are never without the perfect drink for each occasion.

Hops & Glory : One man's search for the beer that built the British Empire
order quantity
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Brown Pete
Published by:
macmillan
The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass -- a semi-mythical beer from the late 18th century, brewed in Britain to travel halfway around the world, through ocean storms and tropical sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian veranda. And although you can still buy beers with 'IPA' on the label today, most are, frankly, pale imitations of the original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of traditional Burton IPA has been brewed for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying it is award-winning beer writer Pete Brown. Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he even make it that far, having fallen in the canal just a few miles outside Burton-on-Trent? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the world with 'Barry' the barrel, one question remains what will the real IPA taste like?

Hardback
Author:
Stuart Walton
Published by:
Conway Maritime
An A-Z guide to over 80 of the world's most famous vodka brands. It contains recipes for famous vodka cocktails, as well as new ones for flavored vodkas. This is the latest addition to the successful "Classified" series. The word 'vodka' is the diminutive of 'water' in various Slavic languages. Made from grains, molasses, potatoes, even grapes, vodka is often drunk neat in eastern Europe and Scandinavia, but it is now ultra-fashionable elsewhere in the world, where it is best known as a base for famous cocktails such as the Bloody Mary, the Cosmopolitan and, of course, the Vodka Martini. "Vodka Classified" features an A-Z of vodka brands, both from the traditional producing countries - Russia, Poland, Finland, Sweden and the Baltic States - as well as from other newer distilleries worldwide, from Kazakhstan through Mexico to New Zealand.

Everyday Drinking : The distilled Kingsley Amis
order quantity
NZ$ 29.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Kingsley Amis
Published by:
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Kingsley Amis was one of the great masters of comic prose, and no subject was dearer to him than the art and practice of imbibing. This new volume brings together the best of his three out-of-print works on the subject:
Kingsley Amis in Drink
,
Everyday Drinking
and
How's Your Glass
? In one handsome package, the book covers a full shelf of the master's riotous and erudite thoughts on the drinking arts. Along with a series of well-tested recipes (including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim) are Amis's musings on The Hangover, The Boozing Man's Diet, The Mean Sod's Guide, and (presumably as a matter of speculation) How Not to Get Drunk - all leavened with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol all over the world. Mixing practical know-how and hilarious opinionation, this is a delightful cocktail of wry humour and distilled knowledge, served by one of our great gimlet wits.

Hops and Glory : One Man's Search for the Beer That Built the British Empire
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each

Author:
Pete Brown
Published by:
Macmillan General Books
India Pale Ale is pure gold in a glass: a semi-mythical beer that was specially invented, in the 18th Century, to travel half way around the world, through storms and tropical sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian verandah. For the men and women of the British Raj, sick of warm madeira wine and the questionable local water, IPA was a safe, clean drink - and a morale-boosting taste of home. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of unfermented Burton IPA has been taken to India by canal and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying Britain's best beer is Pete Brown, Britain's best beer writer. Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, a raucous history of the hard-partying Raj and a fantastic sense of adventure, "Hops and Glory" is, quite simply, one man's quest for the beer that built the British Empire.

Mondo Cocktail : A Shaken and Stirred History
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Christine Sismondo
Published by:
McArthur & Company
The Oxford Dictionary defines cocktail as any combination of diverse elements, especailly potent ones. Mondo Cocktail is as much about the potent elements of literature, history, sociology and business as it is about gin, scotch, vodka and rum. This is a unique, fun and informative narrative history of the cocktail.
Part travelogue, part instruction manual, part bar philosophy, part discursive history, this book fits into a larger genre than your average bartending book. It is a whimsical examination of drinks that have captured our imagination and symbolically identified certain eras and people all over the world! It gives a careful anatomy of 12 classic cocktails and their origins, and teaches the reader far more than proper preparations.

Paperback
Author:
Graham Hutchins
Published by:
Hodder Moa
An account of New Zealand's constant, sometimes troubled, always fascinating and often humorous encounters with alcohol, from the early days of European contact to the present day. While the book will have a skeletal chronological framework to set the scene it will be far less a a??drya?? social history than an entertaining account of an often much-maligned subject. Anecdotes relating to Kiwis and their encounters with alcohol over the years will pepper the book. Some of our most amusing tales have been either associated directly with grog or have been fired by alcohol. Contentious issues like the Temperance Movement, the threat of Prohibition and the 'Six O'clock Swill' will be discussed, along with some of the more amusing aspects of issues that were deadly serious to some. The impact of alcohol on New Zealand literature, folklore and songs and poems will represent some of the themes to be covered. Characters associated with the ...
