description: Bourbon's popularity derives from its folklore nearly as much as from its flavor. Fred Thompson is a food writer who adores this venerable drink and his Bourbon: 50 Rousing Recipes for a Classic American Spirit lays it all out - the history the legends the recipes plus helpful tips and tricks all accompanied by stunning four-color photos. Recipes include classics (Manhattan Ward 8) new favorites (Lynchburg Lemonade Bourbon Chocolate Martini) hot or cool concoctions (Hot Chocolate Nog Lemon Cooler) and drinks for a crowd (Whiskey Sour Punch Mint Julep Sparkler). There's even a chapter featuring delicious ways to cook with bourbon with dishes such as Salmon with Bourbon Glaze and Fred's Bourbon Balls. Straight up mixed in a cocktail poured in a punch or whipped into a recipe - however you enjoy it bourbon is an old favorite that's new again.
