Cocktail Edit: How to Make Essential Drinks

From the Publisher:

The Cocktail Edit is a comprehensive guide to making cocktails at home, offering 100 recipes divided into 13 chapters. The first half of the book focuses on the essential ingredients, tools, and techniques required for crafting delicious cocktails, ensuring readers have a solid foundation.

The second half of the book presents the cocktail recipes, with each chapter beginning with a classic cocktail, such as a Negroni or Gimlet, and then exploring six variations on the theme. In most cases, these recipes share common ingredients or formulas, but in some instances, the connection is more about the occasion or mood, as in the case of the "Punches & Cups" chapter.

The book's indexes have been designed to allow readers to search by cocktail name or ingredient, as well as an alternative index that groups recipes along more thematic lines, such as "Trashy," "Secret handshakes," and "Cooling cocktails for hot days." This makes it easy for readers to find the perfect cocktail for any occasion.

The Cocktail Edit is the only cocktail book you'll ever need, providing practical tips for effortless home cocktails and a wide range of recipes, including the classic gin sour, old fashioned, daiquiri, margarita, spritz, and highball.
