Beautifully illustrated, beautifully designed, and beautifully crafted--just like its namesake--this is the ultimate bar book by NYCs most meticulous bartender. To say that PDT is a unique bar is an understatement. It recalls the era of hidden Prohibition speakeasies: to gain access, you walk into a raucous hot dog stand, step into a phone booth, and get permission to enter the serene cocktail lounge. Now, Jim Meehan, PDTs innovative operator and mixmaster, is revolutionizing bar books, too, offering all 304 cocktail recipes available at PDT plus behind-the-scenes secrets. From his bar design, tools, and equipment to his techniques, food, and spirits, its all here, stunningly illustrated by Chris Gall.

With three editions of Bourbon Mixology published, author Steve Akley wanted to expand beyond just signature bourbon cocktails from iconic bars. This time he wanted to take a look at themed drinks. Two categories that seemed like natural fits were coffee-themed and holiday-themed creations. Coffee is a drink enjoyed by so many people in the morning it's amazing it hasn't expanded further into the cocktail world. Steve has 19 bars sharing their signature coffee cocktail with you. Another area he thought would be good to focus on was holiday-themed cocktails. Everyone attends parties around the holidays and what better way to celebrate the season than by sharing signature cocktails from some of America's best known bars. In total, 32 bars are featured. This list includes: Coffee Mixology The Brooklynite/San Antonio Buffalo Proper/Buffalo Coffee House Cafe/Dallas Dandelion Market/Charlotte Elixir/San Francisco Establishment/Atlanta Full Throttle Saloon/Sturgis The Honeymoon/Houston Mr. C's Irish Pub/Houston Piastra/Marietta (Atlanta) The Red Rabbit Kitchen and Bar/Sacramento The Roosevelt Room/Austin Spenard Roadhouse/Anchorage Talbott Tavern/Bardstown Tavern Law/Seattle The Third Man/New York Trenchermen/Chicago Vanguard Lounge/Las Vegas The Way Station/Brooklyn Holiday Mixology 40 Steak and Seafood/Bismarck 116 Crown/New Haven Boiler Room/Fargo Butch McGuire's/Chicago Cardinal Tavern/Baltimore Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse/New Orleans Herbie's Vintage 72/Saint Louis Novela/San Francisco The Royal Mile/Des Moines Sloppy Joe's/Key West Supply and Demand/Atlanta Urban Tree Cidery/Atlanta Whiskey Bar/Milwaukee"

From the Author There aren’t hundreds of recipes in this book, because each one had to earn its place in your kitchen, the kitchen of a stranger who’s welcomed me in. I don’t take your precious leisure time—your seasons and gatherings and free moments lightly. The cost and effort I’ll ask you to spend on any one step or ingredient must be justified by a proportionate gain in flavor. I promise you that none of these drinks are dull, and that your loved ones will love them. I promise that I’ve described the absolute best way to make each drink without compromise, but also the simplest way to do so. The dry practicality that went into the development of these recipes found balance in the pure joy of dreaming them up and of imagining you enjoying each one. I pictured you in your own kitchens and couches and beaches and backyards, experiencing the pure bliss that is a perfectly mixed drink. I hope that you’ll return to these pages whenever you’re in need of that bliss, over and over again. —Colleen Jeffers
