The Eau de Vie cocktail book, Shaken & Stirred, Flamed & Thrown: Cocktails Done the Eau de Vie Way has won the Best Cocktail Book at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for 2015.
The book by Sven Almenning features signature Eau de Vie bar drinks from both Sydney and Melbourne bars. Many of the country’s top bartenders who have worked at the venues contributed their cocktails such as Barry Chalmers, Luke Redington, ‘Dr’ Phil Gandevia, Max Greco, Charlie Ainsbury and Greg Sanderson.
The book was published under a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo which not only reached its target goal of $12,000 in the first 36 hours but raised a total of $24,000 in just four weeks.
You can buy the book in select bookstores in Sydney and Melbourne for $49.95 as well as online at the Eau De Vie website.
