Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs and Juice

A toast to Black excellence in every pour.

Toni Tipton-Martin pulls together two centuries of cocktail culture, history, and storytelling into something that goes well beyond a standard recipe book. Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice traces the influence of Black bartenders, writers, and creators who helped shape what we now think of as American drinking culture—most of whom never got the credit they deserved.

Inside, you’ll find over 75 cocktails that move between classic and modern, alongside the stories behind them—from early pioneers like Tom Bullock to modern names you already recognize. It’s layered with research pulled from historic cookbooks, personal archives, and real lived experience, but never feels heavy-handed.

You can absolutely mix from it—but chances are you’ll spend just as much time reading it with a drink in hand.
