Texas Cocktails
Having sold more than 2 billion copies of her crime novels, the bestselling author in the world, Agatha Christie, still reigns—and inspires killer cocktails in a new book by Colleen Mullaney.
This holiday, charm your guests with elegant cocktails laced with Southern hospitality from author Nico Martini. Texas Cocktails is a collection of more than 100 drink recipes from bars throughout the Lone Star State—almost 20 from Dallas, including three on Greenville Avenue.
The three neighborhood bars included The Alamo Club, Apothecary, and the now-closed Rapscallion.
The book is an elegant and updated guide to Texas cocktail culture and features creations from some of the state’s best mixologists, along with techniques from the experts. Cocktail fans will also enjoy profiles of Texas distilleries and their signature spirits. Budding mixologists will appreciate that color photos of the drinks accompany all recipes.
