Cocktail Codex
According to the architects behind Death & Co. — one of the best cocktail bars in the world — there are only six cocktails. From those six root categories every other mixed drink emerges, and Cocktail Codex is built on that fundamental idea. The six templates — the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip — provide the basis behind what works and what doesn't in the world of cocktails. The hardbound book also offers tips on infusions, syrups, cordials, tinctures, concentrates, what to substitute if you're missing ingredients, and much more.
