Cincinnati Rocktails: An Amped Up Spin On Mixology (Hardcover)
Rocktails: An Amped Up Spin on Mixology is a music history cocktail book series that celebrates musicians through the art of Mixology. Cincinnati Rocktails honors musicians specifically with a connection to the Greater Cincinnati area.
Upon digging into Cincinnati's rich musical past, it becomes apparent that chronicling the recording music industry is and always will be a little “twisted.” Often this history is an oral tradition, passed down from musician to music lover, rather than an academic dive into factual research. There are always two sides to every story, and Rocktails has delved into the depths of the lyrical legends and musical myths to seek truth in both sides of the tall tales. The relationship between artist and label is one that sends almost every aspiring musician into the tornado of licensing and publishing, versus the creative freedom of the artist. Cheers to those who learned how to ride the wave of popular music by following the rules and formulas of the label and producers! Salud to those who stood their ground and held true to their art 100% by mixing their funk and soul into each track!
In this book, Kristen Kreft and Mayalou Banatwala strive to find the soul of the artist, combine it with some factual history, and amp up traditional cocktails with their Rocktails' spin. Each ingredient in each drink is hand-picked and intentional, uniquely portraying their interpretation of the musical artist with the utmost love and dignity. They hope that you enjoy reading the brief histories that they have provided, with the soundtrack of Cincinnati musical history wafting through the air, sipping reverently on the paired Rocktails they have so lovingly created for Cincinnati music fans.
