Mixology master Jeffrey M. Pogash presents his take on the origins of one of the world’s best-loved and most complex cocktails. A humorous account of how pride, competition, and a spirited tale can muddy the waters of history, Pogash takes the reader on a journey from the fabled Harry’s New York bar across the Atlantic to the St. Regis King Cole bar.
Bloody Mary is the third title in The Thornwillow Libretto Series, a publication of “little books” (the literal translation of the Italian word “libretto”) designed to be a small beautiful space in which writers can make an enduring contribution to the timeline of American Literature.
