In Person Author Talk: Robert Simonson, The Encyclopedia of Cocktails

We're excited to welcome James Beard Award–nominated author and New York Times cocktail and spirits writer Robert Simonson to the Book Larder kitchen in celebration of his new book, The Encyclopedia of Cocktails: The People, Bars, & Drinks, with More Than 100 Recipes. This new volume is a lively A-to-Z compendium of the notable drinks, bartenders, and bars that shaped the cocktail world and produced the vibrant spirits culture we enjoy today. There are more than 100 drink recipes, from the Adonis to the Zombie, with vivid illustrations throughout. This guide isn't a strictly academic text, nor is it simply a collection of drink recipes—it is an animated, sometimes irreverent historical journey highlighting the preeminent bars and top bartenders of record. The Encyclopedia of Cocktails is perfect for cocktail nerds as well as anyone interested in learning about cocktail culture. It's both a recipe book and a reference guide to keep near the bar or flip through while sipping your favorite libation. Robert will be in conversation with Imbibe Editor in Chief Paul Clarke.

You'll have two options for joining us: Book Included, or Author Talk Only. The Book Included option includes a signed copy of the $25 book. Robert will sign books after the talk.

Reservations are non-refundable. Applicable sales tax and a $0.75 transaction fee are included in the ticket price. Can't attend but still want a signed copy? Order here for shipping or in-store pickup.
