Itâs been a century since the prohibition sent Americans scurrying to speakeasies. And decades since the movie industry turned mobsters into celebrities. Now the two worlds collide in this highly original pocket-sized collection that creates signature cocktails for gangsters of every stripe. Thereâs the âAl Capone,â a mixture of rye and Campari thatâs as charming and dangerous as its namesake. The âBonnie Parkerâ adds Chicory Pecan Bitters to the whiskey Bonnie enjoyed when she wasnât lobbing bottles out the window of her getaway car. Thereâs even the Stephanie St Clair, a cocktail with Caribbean rum thatâs as smooth as she was. Famous characters from much-loved recent tv series including The Sopranos, Peaky Blinders, and Boardwalk Empire are seen alongside iconic roles from classic films such as The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and Millerâs Crossing. These fictional fiends are accompanied by the infamous real- life mobsters theyâre based on. Each is illustrated by acclaimed comic book artist Shawn McManus. Whether youâre a budding mixologist or gearing up to watch The Godfather, this handy book provides the perfect blend of slick recipes and popular culture.
