Among the most respected authors in the cocktail realm, André Darlington has built a solid reputation with tomes like “The New Cocktail Hour” and “Booze Cruise.” However, in his latest book, “Bar Menu”, he’s combined two of his long-held passions: cocktails and food.
This week on FoodCrush, we sat down with Darlington to discuss his new book, which is filled with 100+ easy-to-prepare globally-inspired dishes, plus over 30 cocktail recipes: a true resource for anyone who’d like to host a memorable happy hour (or full fledged cocktail party) at home.
During our chat, Darlington shares information about his journey to cocktail writing, the inspiration behind “Bar Menu” and the recipes within. He also shares tricks and tips, favorite recipes and a preview of his next (hint: White Russian filled) project.
