ReviewsReviews From: Chicago Tribune Bon Apetit Roam Atomic Cocktails brings back the glamour such as it is of tippling a-go-go. Written by nostalgia buffs Karen Brooks, Gideon Bosker and Reed Darmon, the book delivers dozens of cocktails with a 50s and 60s point of view. The 50 recipes include classics such as martinis and Manhattans to libations such as Guava Daiquiri of the Party Gods and Hot Buttered Rumba. Rookies will find the basics (equipment, techniques, ingredients) here too, not to mention a very amusing read. Also useful is Atomic Cocktails by Karen Brooks, Gideon Bosker and Reed Darmon. This one focuses on mixed drinks from the fifties and sixties and the array of products and accessories they inspired. Where else are you going to find out how to mix up a batch of Ray Guns or Angry Red Planets? Start the summer parties off with a bang, with Atomic Cocktails , a bright new collection of drinks, vintage graphics and detailed bayside reference. Surefire hits like the Brazen Martini (violet liqueur and an orange twist in the place of vermouth), Neon Watermelon Margaritas and the fearsome-sounding Angry Red Planet (bloody mary with wasabi), just might wreak everlasting havoc on cocktail life as we know it. -- -, Reviews From: Chicago Tribune Bon Apetit Roam Atomic Cocktails brings back the glamour such as it is of tippling a-go-go.
