Mixologists are seen, in general, as a white dude. Even though the history of cocktails is not that limited at all. Which is why it is great to see much lauded author Toni Tipton-Martin puts the history of Black mixology back where it belongs.
The book is Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice and it “spotlights the creativity, hospitality, and excellence of Black drinking culture, with classic and modern recipes inspired by formulas found in two centuries’ worth of Black cookbooks.”
You can find drinks like the Absinthe Frappe, Clover Leaf Cocktail, Jerk-Spiced Bloody Mary and the Gin and Juice 3.0. Sounds like a treasure trove of cocktail ideas.
