Mixologeist: Bartending Guide

Five hundred cocktails, chosen one at a time. Not five thousand scraped off the internet and left to rot. The classic canon in full - the drinks a bartender is expected to know cold - alongside the modern standards that earned the title, and the house recipes worth the trouble of tracking down. Every one is specified properly. Measures written out, down to the dash. The glass, the ice, the method, the garnish. 277 ingredients cataloged behind them, so a recipe calling for amontillado means amontillado, and says so. The name is the promise: a mixologist's catalog kept with an ear to the zeitgeist. What the canon settled, what the last twenty years added, and what is being poured this year. • The full classic canon - Martini, Manhattan, Daiquiri, Negroni, Sazerac, Last Word, and the several hundred others that matter. • Modern classics: Penicillin, Paper Plane, Naked & Famous, Gold Rush,…
