But what does it look like when you pose the question to bartenders? In Last Call, James Beard Award-winning author Brad Thomas Parsons gathers the intriguing responses from a diverse range of bartenders around the country, including Guido Martelli at the Palizzi Social Club in Philadelphia (he chooses an extra-dry Martini), Joseph Stinchcomb at Saint Leo in Oxford, Mississippi (he picks the Last Word, a pre-Prohibition-era cocktail thats now a cult favorite), and Natasha David at Nitecap in New York City (she would be sipping an extra-salty Margarita).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Emily Timberlake has been my editor since my first book, Bitters, and she remains a force of nature as a first reader and editor, and, more important, as a trusted friend. After editing Distillery Cats, she and her husband adopted two cats, Otto and Siouxsie. Im eager to see what Last Call might inspire.

I cant say enough about my frequent collaborator, Ed Anderson, who photographed and helped design Bitters, Amaro, and Last Call. This was our most ambitious project yet, and we spent weeks together on the road in trains, planes, and rental cars, experiencing the highs and lows of chronicling the late-night stories of bars across America. And lived (barely) to tell the story.

Ive known Aaron Wehner, the executive vice president at Crown Publishing, for over a decade, and its an honor to be published by such a smart and savvy friend. Heres to many more drinks, dinners, and books together. And Im thankful for the hard work, passion, and dedication from the talented team at Ten Speed Press, especially Windy Dorrestyn, Mari Gill, Lorena Jones, Lauren Kretzschmar, Annie Marino, Dan Myers, Ashley Pierce, Allison Renzulli, and Betsy Stromberg, as well as Mikayla Butchart, Ken Della Penta, and Sharon Silva.

A million thank-yous to my agent David Black, who continues to inspire me to be my best in life, while always being generous with his advice, advocacy, acumen, and so much more. And thank you to Matt Belford at the David Black Literary Agency.

Much love to all the bartenders, bar managers, chefs, and restaurateurs who took the time to sit with me for interviews, and for sharing their insights and personal stories. And to all the bars and restaurants for their hospitality, going out of their way to accommodate us for on-location photo shoots, often during service, and for mixing up countless drinks and making us feel welcome.

An endless debt of gratitude to the following for their continued friendship, support, goodwill, and generosity: Nick Anderer, Alex Bachman, Talia Baiocchi, Susan Baldaserini, Brian Bartels, Anne Bartholmew, Scott Blackwell, Damon Boelte, Andrew Bohrer, Chris Brucia, Dave Callanan, Joe Campanale, Frank Castronovo, Toby Cecchini, Peter Cohen, Steve Cook, Daniel Cosme, Gary Crunkleton, Chris DeCrosta, Tom Douglas, Daphne Durham, Billy Durney, John T. Edge, Renee Erickson, Frank Falcinelli, Kristin Ford, Jon Foro, Ethan Forrest, Jeff Galli, Brooke Gilbert, Jessica Gilo, Lori Glazer, Marty Gosser, Benjamin Haas, Marci DeLozier Haas, Charlie Hall, Mike Harrigan, Mike Hudman, Mark Iacono, Shai Kessler, Ali Klooster, Kate Kraft, David Lebovitz, Matt Lee, Ted Lee, Mari Malcolm, Ann Marshall, Rux Martin, Taylor Mason, Jayce McConnell, Jim Meehan, Peter Meehan, Danny Meyer, Tom Nissley, Katie Parla, Chris Petescia, Robert Simonson, Mike Solomonov, Nick Talarico, Eric Tanaka, Joe Tarasco, Andy Ticer, Amy Weinstein, Crasta Yo, and Dan Zeiders.

And to Laurie Brown, whose wisdom and beautiful spirit continue to inspire.

To my family for their love and support: Vicki, Bob, and Jack Adams; Gary Murphy; Gary and Mary Ellen Murphy; and Ryan and Kassie Murphy. And in loving memory of my father, Herbert Bert Parsons, my mother, Joanne Murphy, and my brother, Scott Parsons.

And, of course, to Louis.
