Drinking the Devil's Acre | Duggan McDonnell | Talks at Google
7Author Duggan McDonnell stops by Google Mountain View to talk about his newest book "Drinking the Devil's Acre: A Love Letter to San Francisco and Her Cocktails."
Drinking The Devil’s Acre is a cocktail memoir by Duggan McDonnell, a tender tale of shaking the drinks made famous in the Barbary Coast; a bold primer on modern mixology, with smart essays on spirits, our palates, and insights into the cocktail renaissance. The title takes its name from the wickedest, wildest block of San Francisco’s old Barbary Coast, and McDonnell's prose does justice to the bold title.
Author Duggan McDonnell wears many hats—bartender, distiller, educator. He is most passionate about cocktail history, especially of San Francisco. Drinking the Devil's Acre is a must read for everyone fond of cocktails or San Francisco, for either the amateur or professional mixologist who will discover McDonnell's Bartender’s Secret Formulas, the tales of the legendary Pisco Punch, the ingenious Mai Tai, the Gold Rush era Sazerac and the whimsical Lemon Drop. Drinking the Devil's Acre is a book to come back to, in the liquor cabinet and on the nightstand.
