An intoxicating chat with "Bar Menu" author Andre Darlington

Among the most respected authors in the cocktail realm, André Darlington has built a solid reputation with tomes like “The New Cocktail Hour” and “Booze Cruise.” However, in his latest book, “Bar Menu”, he’s combined two of his long-held passions: cocktails and food.<br/><br/>This week on FoodCrush, we sat down with Darlington to discuss his new book, which is filled with 100+ easy-to-prepare globally-inspired dishes, plus over 30 cocktail recipes: a true resource for anyone who’d like to host a memorable happy hour (or full fledged cocktail party) at home.<br/><br/>During our chat, Darlington shares information about his journey to cocktail writing, the inspiration behind “Bar Menu” and the recipes within. He also shares tricks and tips, favorite recipes and a preview of his next (hint: White Russian filled) project.<br/><br/><br/>
