We're in a"golden era of mixology right now," according to author Tamika Hall.
The book highlights a collective of mixologists, hailing from all over the globe, and their signature cocktails. Each mixologist featured has an accompanying story, which details their contribution to the industry, anecdotes about some of their most interesting bartending experiences, and custom craft cocktail recipes.
Every detail of the book is crafted with intention — from its title to its striking cover art, which pays homage to Hall’s late father."'Black excellence' is a term that we’ve heard a lot and has become very popular, given the fact that’s what we use to describe things that we do as Black women, Black men and Black children. 'Black excellence' is when we excel at something. That’s what we use to describe the action,” Hall explained.
