Who makes up these names, where are they invented, why, and how do you make them? These questions will be answered in "What’s Your Poison?" by exploring the incidents, people, and places that prompted the creation of these exotic concoctions. In this book you will you learn several alternative theories how cocktails became "cocktails" and you'll also learn how to make over forty different variations.
