Over the past month, we’ve added several new sites to our links list (called “Departures” — it’s down in the lower left), and as is our way, we feel obligated to stop for a moment and let you know why these particular sites appeal to us — and are worthy of your time as well.

Now Serving Punch

November 2, 2010 | 0 Comments

Sure, there may be other things going on today, but what really made us jump out of bed this morning is the release of David Wondrich’s “Punch: The Delights (and Dangers) of the Flowing Bowl“, available now at 12BB Supply.

“Punch” is the follow-up to Wondrich’s incredible “Imbibe!: From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash“, one of the cornerstones of 12 Bottle Bar. Given the enthusiastic response we had for the first couple of simple punches we featured during Halloween, we hardily recommend “Punch” be at the top of your holiday reading list. Wondrich’s insight into timeless recipes as well as the cultural history surrounding them makes both books must-reads.

We’ll be featuring more of “Punch” as the holidays continue.
