60+ recipes for today's modern classics with entertaining backstories from the cocktail revival of the past thirty years, by a two-time James Beard Award nominee and New York Times cocktail and spirits writer.

"No proper drinking library is complete without Robert Simonson's volumes, and Modern Classic Cocktails is one of the best yet." --Adam Platt, New York magazine restaurant critic and author of The Book of Eating

One of the greatest dividends of the revival in cocktail culture that began in the 1990s has been the relentless innovation. More new cocktails--and good ones--have been invented in the past thirty years than during any period since the first golden age of cocktails, which lasted from roughly the 1870s until the arrival of Prohibition in 1920 and included the birth of the Martini, Manhattan, Daiquiri, and Tom Collins.

Just as that first bar-world zenith produced a half-century of classic recipes before Prohibition, the eruption of talent over the past three decades has handily delivered its share of drinks that have found favor with arbiters on both sides of the bar. Among them are the Espresso Martini, White Negroni, Death Flip, Old Cuban, Paper Plane, Siesta, and many more, all included here along with each drink's recipe origin story.

What elevates a modern cocktail into the echelon of a modern classic? A host of reasons, all delineated by Simonson in these pages. But, above all, a modern classic cocktail must be popular. People have to order it, not just during its initial heyday, but for years afterward. Tommy's Margarita, invented in the 1990s, is still beloved, and the Porn Star Martini is the most popular cocktail in the United Kingdom, twenty years after its creation.

This book includes more than sixty easy-to-make drinks that all earned their stripes as modern classics years ago. Sprinkled among them are also a handful of critics' choices, potential classics that have the goods to become popular go-to cocktails in the future.

A must have in the kitchen to save counter space!

I absolutely love this food storage cart!! I was tired of putting all my breads, fruits, and veggies on my kitchen counter and just happened to have this sliver of space between my coffee table and the fridge. This storage cart fit perfectly and I like that you can move it around while cleaning or cooking. It fits more than you think and you can get creative with it (like removing food from packaging, using a basket, etc). It was really easy to put together. Materials are sturdy, not flimsy, and will probably last forever. It's super easy to clean and a great value for your money. This storage cart has saved my sanity in the kitchen!

Well designed
Size: 5 Tiers (5.1"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
Cart arrived well packaged. No damage and all parts included. Parts are all labeled with easy to remove stickers, assembly instructions clear. Assembly took about 10 minutes. Even with its narrow width, this cart is surprisingly stable. Sure, you can't sling it around but with a bit of caution it won't tip over. Casters work well and don't hang up when spinning. Ours fits nicely between the refrigerator and the wall and is used to organize and store spices. It can be rolled over to the island when cooking and everything you need is close at hand. No more multiple trips to the pantry. Quality product, well designed and good price point.

Ok, but wheels do not function well.
Size: 5 Tiers (8.7"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
Decent cart, for the price. It is reasonably well made. I got it to use as a kitchen storage cart, and it fit the size I needed perfectly. It wasn’t too hard to assemble, but I have arthritis in my hands that made using the provided Allen wrench a little challenging, and I had to take several breaks to let my hands rest. I plan to store root vegetables in it. So I love the mesh the shelves are made of. They will provide air circulation around things like onions and potatoes and still be easy to clean. I like that it has a solid shelf on the top that I can actually sit things on, rather than having the top most shelf be the top of the cart. It is just that added bit of usable space. I think the metal will hold up well with time, but I am less sure of the top ‘wood’ shelf. It isn’t hard wood, but feels like a composite. I plan to be very careful about letting any water sit on the shelf to keep from messing it up. My biggest issue and the reason I took off 2 stars is because of the poor quality off the wheels. I wanted a rolling cart, which is why I purchased one. The wheels do not turn well at all and it feels like I am just dragging the cart when I move it. I wanted to be able to move the cart easily to access a small cabinet it sits near, and I wanted to be able to move the cart easily to clean under it. I plan to look for some other wheels to replace these with, but that is definitely an added expense, if I can even find some that will work. I should have read other reviews a little closer as I now see the wheels have been a problem for others. All in all a decent cart, and a decent price that mostly lives up to its promises.

Good cart.
Size: 5 Tiers (8.7"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
Very good cart. Could use better wheels, but all in all nice looking cart. Wish it came with a-hooks so you could hang pot holders or something of the like on the end b horizontal bars, but it does NOT.

Nice Versatile and Strong Cart
Material Type: Three Tiers Cart
The cart looks great and fits our needs perfectly. It is very sturdy and well made. However, it took a lot longer to put together than I expected because there many parts and they have to fit together perfectly. Worth it though!
