Cocktails and Rock Tales Cocktails and Rock Tales, ISBN 9781740666497 and books by Jane Rocca on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz Pop goddess? Then sip on a Material Girl. Rockabilly kid? Youll need a Cheesecake Rodriguez in between dances. Punk? A Zombie Ghost Train before the rebellion. After all, drinks are not just drinks, and tunes are not just tunes – both the music you listen to and the cocktails you indulge in are statements of intent. What you think determines what you drink. So, after hunting down original recipes from bartenders at leading Australian and New York bars, rock journalist Jane Rocca created the ultimate guide to finding the spirit for every soundtrack. From Indie Rock and Noir to Soul, Country and even the cheesy strains of Karaoke, COCKTAILS AND ROCKTALES distils the personality of each music genre into perfect accompanying cocktails. Learn about the warm companionship of vodka, the old–school primness of gin and the tropical abandon of rum. Drink in the geisha chic of sake, and dicover why whisley and its white trash cousin, bourbon are no longer just a guys best friend.
