"Philip Greene's latest book, SOURS, is a triumph. The stylish font of the title, reminiscent of the 1920s Brown Derby cocktail menu, used smartly throughout the book, establishes the look of a classic work on drinks. But the journey on the trail of the sour-style drinks, from the classics to cutting-edge 21st-century additions, with accurate recipes and techniques, establishes SOURS as Greene's most useful drink book to date. He has moved from being an aficionado to an expert, and has provided the readers with a valuable resource, whether they are professional bartenders or interested amateurs." --Dale DeGroff, author, The New Craft of the Cocktail "Philip Greene's SOURS is delightful and definitive. The history here is lively, and the roster of drinks is remarkable. You'll want to make absolutely every daiquiri, margarita, fizz, sling, swizzle, and squirrel. SOURS is a party on every page. --Steve Reddicliffe, editor, The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails "This is a book that needed to be written, and there is no better person to guide you through the wide and wonderful world of sours than the seasoned and urbane cocktail authority and author Philip Greene." --Robert Simonson, author of A Proper Drink and the award-winning Substack newsletter The Mix with Robert Simonson. "Philip Green does a stupendous job providing context to the recipes and ingredients in this book. This is the first time I've seen so many of these classics and their updates published alongside more recent additions. Like a great sour cocktail, the writing has substance, with a measure of sweetness, and some zingers to keep things tangy." --Amanda Schuster, author of Signature Cocktails "Philip Greene's latest masterpiece, SOURS , is an extraordinary journey through the rich history of sour-style cocktails. Greene's unparalleled expertise and captivating storytelling make this book a must-read for cocktail enthusiasts and history buffs alike. His meticulous research and engaging narrative truly showcase his brilliance as an author and historian. This book is a testament to Greene's ability to blend historical depth with the art of mixology, making it an absolute treasure!" --Brian Van Flandern, "America's Top Mixologist," The Food Network
