Review "Alba Huerta's ode to bourbon, mint, and crushed ice (my three favorite things) is Southern hospitality at its finest." --Andrew Knowlton, Bon Appetit "Heavy on the Southern storytelling and even heavier on the bourbon, Huerta's book is a history of drinking in the states where the sun always shines."--ESQUIRE "It's an ideal way to add Southern hospitality to a home bar."--EATER About the Author ALBA HUERTA is the owner of Julep and co-owner of The Pastry War, both nationally recognized craft cocktail bars in Houston.
