Description

The third in Chronicles Esquire cookbook series, this is a curated introduction to cocktail making at home with 125 recipes for cocktails and sidebars on everything a man should know about mixing, serving, and enjoying a great drink, such as basic proportions, what to always have on hand, and what to buy on an as-you-need-it basis plus entertaining pieces on topics such as ideas for matching the drink to the moment and how to drink at age 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60.

More than 100 photos show nearly every drink and 30 graphic illustrations complete a bold, attitudinal design.

Recipes are organized by the classics (12 drinks every guy should know how to make), variations on the classics, variations on the variations, and a handful of all-service recipes for snacks to serve with.

All previously published material has been updated and recast for this book and approximately 20% of the book is new material from notable writers (such Esquires Beard awardwinning beverage editor, David Wondrich).
