In American Bar, William Yeoward, renowned for his glamorous take on interior design and table settings, shares his passion for these drinks. Here, he visits five of his favorite bars and chooses cocktails from each to create a compendium of iconic and signature recipes by some of the world''s most acclaimed bartenders. Added to these are their helpful tips, plus William''s own thoughts on making cocktails and, importantly, how to present them.
