Linda Abernathy of the Arkansas Times exclaims, "Homemade lemonade tastes like sun sparkling across a lake on a summer morning. Compared to its fresh, natural lemon flavor, the instant stuff might as well be lemon-flavored dishwater." Lemonade is as American as apple pie. In Lemonade, Fred Thompson creates 50 diverse recipes that will take you far beyond the basic lemonade-stand fare of childhood. Ranging from simple to sophisticated, the recipes include such classics as Old-Fashioned Lemonade, new twists like Ginger Lemonade and Watermelon Lemonade; sparkling versions like Lime & Lemonade Cooler; and spiked versions such as Lemonade Martini and Slush Puppy Deluxe. Lemonade is also bursting with gorgeous full-color photography, useful information about buying, juicing, and storing lemons, and has sections on helpful lemonade basics. Whether you are trying an exciting new variation or a more traditional recipe, Thompson will show you that there really is no substitute for a large glass of freshly homemade lemonade.
Bourbon's popularity derives from its folklore nearly as much as from its flavor. Fred Thompson is a food writer who adores this venerable drink, and his Bourbon: 50 Rousing Recipes for a Classic American Spirit lays it all out - the history, the legends, the recipes, plus helpful tips and tricks, all accompanied by stunning four-color photos. Recipes include classics (Manhattan, Ward 8), new favorites (Lynchburg Lemonade, Bourbon Chocolate Martini), hot or cool concoctions (Hot Chocolate "Nog," Lemon Cooler), and drinks for a crowd (Whiskey Sour Punch, Mint Julep Sparkler). There's even a chapter featuring delicious ways to cook with bourbon, with dishes such as Salmon with Bourbon Glaze and Fred's Bourbon Balls. Straight up, mixed in a cocktail, poured in a punch, or whipped into a recipe - however you enjoy it, bourbon is an old favorite that's new again.
