Sean Ludford, Beverage Experts

"Robert Plotkin featured Clément V.S.O.P as one of America's Favorite Spirits in his latest book Secrets Revealed of America's Greatest Cocktails. Plotkin showcases the Clément V.S.O.P flavor profile and describes the Rhum Clément portfolio as: "The entire line of spirits crafted by Clément is exceptional and showcase the fresh, vibrant qualities of agricole rhum from Martinique."

Clement Sugarcane Press Newsletter

“...Time-travel through the captivating world of classic cocktails... A must read for aspiring bartenders and cocktail aficionados alike.”

Rob Constantino, Managing Editor, Santé, The Magazine for Restaurant Professionals

“...History in a shaker... Romance in a glass... Explore the depths and dimensions of our favorite drinks.”

Dr. Gail Bellamy, Managing Editor, Food Director, Restaurant Hospitality

“Robert Plotkin’s latest tome showcases his deep knowledge of the origins of specific drinks, the rationale behind the basic ingredients and the creative license available to today’s bartenders and mixologists, not to mention sound advice on how best to use said license. The recipes, culled from respected establishments, are stellar examples that also serve as fodder for further exploration. Like a well-crafted cocktail, Plotkin’s prose is informative, insightful and entertaining.

Donna Hood Crecca, Editor, Cheers Magazine Nov/Dec 2007

“Robert Plotkin’s impossible-to-put-down new book is a delight to read. His on-the-money views on individual cocktails and spirits and where to enjoy them are informative, entertaining, and immensely useful to consumers. Organized by major cocktail category, America’s Greatest Cocktails is a superb source of data that is as cool and current as a Mojito.”

F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, December 2007
