HOLLY GRAHAM WROTE A BOOK! 💜 Cocktails of Asia is a deep dive into the storied cocktails that define the region
Hong Kong — Local publisher Man Mo Media is adding another authoritative drinks guide to its repertoire with Cocktails of Asia: Regional Recipes and the Spirited Stories Behind them, a 256-page tome that vividly depicts some of the region’s most iconic and definitive cocktails.
Cocktails of Asia shares the recipes, stories and history behind the cocktails, bars and people that define this spirited region — from India to Indonesia, China to Japan, and everywhere in between.
Asia’s cocktail scene is one of the fastest growing and most awarded in the world, and Asia-based cocktails and spirits expert Holly Graham takes readers on an adventure through the region, telling its stories drink by drink.
Learn how to make modern creations from the talented pros; go behind the scenes of Asia’s iconic establishments; and discover the history of classic Asian cocktails such as the Singapore Sling, Jungle Bird and Pegu Club. Read about the hilarious origin story of Hong Kong’s Nothing cocktail, and sample a revived-and-revised version of the city’s historic Rosy Dawn (or the New Dawn, to be exact).
Featuring detailed recipes that explain how to make every drink step by step, plus some spirited stories from Graham’s own experiences in the region, Cocktails of Asia is a go-to reference for experts and aspiring mixologists alike.
Cocktails of Asia retails for HK$240 (US$29.99) and is available in bookstores across Hong Kong (including Bookazine, Kelly & Walsh, Eslite and more). Outside of Hong Kong, it is available on Amazon.com and select retail points. It is also sold online on manmomedia.com.
