The Cocktail Hour
Tim Hayward
It's 6 o'clock: clear your mind of the cares of the day
Relax and fix yourself a drink
It's The Cocktail Hour
The moment Tim Hayward started mixing himself an 'attitude adjuster' at the end of the day, his life changed
He realised he was falling in love - with the taste, the image, the ritual and legend, of the cocktail
The Cocktail Hour celebrates not just the recipes but the stories, feelings and nostalgia that a drink can evoke
You will learn how to make 50 classic and modern drinks carefully, with good ingredients and the right equipment
But more importantly, from Gimlet to Gibson, Manhattan to Margarita, you will be equipped to immerse yourself fully and appreciatively in the ritual
Achieve inner peace and equilibrium, take pleasure in the glorious moment of that first sip, and join the innumerable artists, writers, statesmen, actors and intellectual titans who, across the centuries, have discovered the profound joy of The Cocktail Hour
