One of my favorite drink books is Atomic Cocktails by Karen Brooks, Gideon Brosker, and Reed Darmon. It's a guide to the hip, swingin' cocktails of eras gone by. But it's a combination of retro and modern drinks, beautifully written and illustrated. There are sections on how to stock a bar, how to do basic drink mixes, and even a glossary of bar terms. Recipe chapter titles include "Martini Madness," "I Love Juicy," "Atomic Cocktails," and "Swank, Civil, and Seductive."
After the jump is the recipe for Webster's F-Street Layaway Plan. The name of the drink is just as long as the list of ingredients.
