Prohibition Repeal/Dale DeGroff Update

Here at the Kitten of the Keys blog, we take the upcoming 75th Anniversery of the repeal of prohibition seriously. One guy who takes it even more serious: Dale DeGroff, the King himself. He's giving a series of lectures down in New Orleans, home of the Ramos Gin Fizz, which are already sold out. I wish he made it uptown to NYC sometime but until then, I'll read one of his many books on the subject.
If you were wondering, The Craft of the Cocktail, is required reading if you want to be a serious cocktail lover.
Also, if you're looking for a great cocktail book Imbibe! is possibly the greatest book ever written on the subject, by David Wondrich.
