Drinkology: The Art and Science of the Cocktail (Revised and Updated)

For years, Drinkology has been the go-to guide to home bartending, equipping mixologists with everything they need to know to craft their own delicious cocktails. This fully revised and updated edition keeps all the essentials - instructions on setting up a home bar, stocking it wisely, and mixing up some splendid drinks - while greatly expanding on the original's coverage. The burgeoning universe of cocktail ingredients is explored and celebrated in new material on bitters, cachaça, and champagne - and a whole new chapter on sake-based mixed drinks. New sidebars detail the do's and don'ts of infusing vodkas and making your own liqueurs. And the book's more than 400 recipes include all the classic cocktails - from the Absinthe Drip to the Zombie - as well as dozens of new libations developed especially for this edition.
