Sips & Stories: Twists on the Classics

By Gregory Dean

There's something special about the classics. Whether it's a perfectly balanced Martini or the deep, smoky complexity of an Old Fashioned, these cocktails have earned their place in history for a reason. They've withstood the test of time, woven into the fabric of our social and cultural lives, and in many ways, they are timeless. But the beauty of the classic cocktail lies in its versatility-its ability to evolve, adapt, and be reinvented. Welcome to the first volume of Sips & Stories: The Art of Cocktail Craft. Whether you're a seasoned mixologist or someone just beginning your journey into the world of cocktails, this book offers more than just recipes-it's an invitation to explore the deeper narrative of cocktail culture. In this book, you'll discover how a dash of smoked maple syrup can transform an Old Fashioned, or how a floral infusion can elevate a simple French 75 into something extraordinary. The key is maintaining the integrity of the classic while inviting in new layers of taste, texture, and aroma. Every twist in this collection has been thoughtfully crafted to keep the essence of the original while offering something unexpected.
