Biographical Note:
Toni Tipton-Martin is a culinary journalist, a community activist, the editor-in-chief of Cook's Country magazine, and the author of two James Beard Award-winning cookbooks, The Jemima Code and Jubilee. Her collection of more than three hundred African American cookbooks has been exhibited at the James Beard House, and she has twice been invited to participate in First Lady Michelle Obama's programs to raise a healthier generation of kids. She is a founding member of the Southern Foodways Alliance and Foodways Texas.

Brief Description:
"Discover the fascinating, unexplored history of Black mixology and its enduring influence on cocktail and drinking culture through rediscovered recipes, from the James Beard Award-winning author of Jubilee. Toni Tipton-Martin's volume on Black culinary history celebrates the lore and people behind our favorite drinks. With cocktail recipes such as the Jerk-Spiced Bloody Mary, the Absinthe Frappe, and the Clover Leaf Cocktail, Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice illustrates the essential influence that Black Americans have had on modern mixology. Drawing on her expertise and research in historic and rare cookbooks stretching back over a century, Toni shows us how these drinks-from historic sources as well as modern interpretations of centuries-old classics-showcase excellence in Black hospitality through the ages and dispels the long held stereotype that Black cooks have all had magic hands. It's a stereotype that reduces Black cooking to some kind of abstract instinct, instead of what it really is: the years and generations of practice, building skills, intelligence and competence. Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice paints a vivid portrait not only of the past but also of today's Black mixologists, winemakers, distillers, and producers who make up the diverse array of talent in the cocktail community. Through stunning photography and authoritative voices, like Toni's protâegâe Tiffanie Barriere who's a renowned Atlanta-based mixologist and drinks writer, this book takes us on a journey through Black mixology and demonstrate its modern impact on today's drinking culture"--

Review Quotes:
"Based on her vast culinary research, James Beard Award winner Tipton-Martin pens an illuminating and glorious work of history and libations, celebrating Black mixologists and the drinks they created. Each offering includes an informative and engaging headnote that places the beverage in its context and milieu. The lengthy bibliography of titles published between 1827 and today is a testimony to Tipton-Martin's vital scholarship. Pour the cognac, coffee, and cream." --Library Journal

" Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs & Juice is from iconic cookbook author and food historian, Toni Tipton-Martin. It's safe to say that Tipton-Martin is a pioneer in the food publishing industry, particularly as it relates to the history of African American foodways. This cookbook further demonstrates Tipton-Martin's expertise and accomplishments seen in work such as Jubilee, and explores the rich history of Black mixologists, including Tom Bullock, the first Black author to publish a cocktail manual." --The Kitchn
