Running a mob empire is thirsty work. With all that bootlegging, racketeering, shylocking and extortion, it’s no wonder so many gangsters have been known to enjoy a stiff drink. After all, a mob bar is a place of business—it’s where deals go down, where friends get together and where enemies get whacked. Behind Bars: High-Class Cocktails Inspired by Lowlife Gangsters by Vincent Pollard and Paul Sloman pairs cinema’s baddest mobsters with signature cocktails. These boozy recipes excerpted straight from the book are so much fun, it’s criminal.
