The New Craft of the Cocktail

Book Description:

The renowned cocktail bible, fully revised and updated by the legendary bartender who set off the cocktail craze - featuring over 100 brand-new recipes, all-new photography, and an up-to-date history of the cocktail.

The Craft of the Cocktail was the first real cookbook for cocktails when it first published in 2002, and it has had a remarkable influence on bartending. With this new edition, the original gets a delicious update, bringing expertise from Dale DeGroff, the father of craft cocktails, to the modern bar for a new generation of cocktail enthusiasts. The beloved histories, culture, tips, and tricks are back but all are newly revised, and DeGroff's favorite liquor recommendations are included so you know which gin or bourbon will mix just right.
