"Michael Turback’s addition to his thoughtfully presented library of tippling tomes is essential reading for cocktail enthusiasts, worldwide. Searching for the right drink at any time of the day? This lovely collection of cocktails helps you hit just the right note at just the right moment." - Natalie Bovis, The Liquid Muse, Author of Edible Cocktails: From Garden to Glass "I woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head, then flipped through A Day In The Life Of A Cocktail to figure out just what I wanted to drink. This book uses the most sensible context - time - to steer you to what you are thirsty for. Full of pithy quotes and delectable tidbits, Michael Turback gives us a book that's both useful and beautiful." - Toby Maloney, Head Mixologist at The Violet Hour (Chicago), Author of The Bartender's Manifesto "A drinking guide and shepherd for the whole day and night. This book is the day planner I always wanted!" - Adam Levy, The Alcohol Professor, Founder of International Beverage Competitions " A Day in the Life of a Cocktail is a fun exercise into ‘around-the-clock’ imbibing. Presented with a short, history-based backstory, each recipe is allotted a time of day to be best enjoyed, revealing soon enough that there is no time like the present for a cocktail!" - Frank Caiafa, Bar & Hospitality Consultant, Author of The Waldorf Astoria Bar Book "A day lived with the responsible companionship of a well-curated cocktail is one of life’s great pleasures. This book helps provide that curation, along with delightful historical and literary anecdotes to accompany. A great read and a great reference." - Jane Lopes, Master Sommelier, Author of Vignette: Stories of Life and Wine in 100 Bottles "With A Day in the Life of a Cocktail Michael Turback allows us to once again feel good about enjoying a libation during the day! How civilized to relish in a well-crafted Ramos Gin Fizz with breakfast, a Bellini while awaiting the lunch hour, an Aperol Spritz as one relishes the end of the work day, and perhaps a Negroni as we prepare for the evening meal? In the presence of a well-made cocktail, the entire day becomes just a little bit brighter!" - Tony Abou-Ganim, The Modern Mixologist "The right time for a cocktail? Michael's book doesn't fall into the legends that no one dares to question. I especially enjoyed reading the history of each cocktail. Bravo and Bonne continuation!" - Colin Peter Field, Head Bartender at the Hemingway Bar of the Hotel Ritz Paris, author of Le Ritz Paris: Une Histoire de Cocktails "Michael takes you on a 'tongue-in-cheek' fun ride through the history of cocktails, with some very interesting tales, from the classics to the new craft cocktails!" - Kevin Zraly, Author, Windows on the World Complete Wine Course " A Day in the Life of a Cocktail is a wonderful resource to both beginner and experienced bartenders, in a home or commercial bar setting alike. The curation of lesser known and well-loved classic cocktails paints a complete picture of how alcoholic drinks can be enjoyed throughout the full course of the day with captivating yet concise historical storytelling." - Faye Chen, Co-founder of Double Chicken Please "A tip of the coupe to Michael's challenge of researching the litany of historic cocktails, then adapting these carefully chosen classics with prudently timed events. All around the clock!" - Warren Bobrow, The Cocktail Whisperer, Author of The Craft Cocktail Compendium and Apothecary Cocktails "Drinking to me has always been mood driven, this book navigates imbibers in a graceful manner with a lovely dash of humor!" - Lucy Brennan, Award-Winning Bartender, Author of Hip Sips: Modern Cocktails to Raise Your Spirits
