The Bartender's Collection

A luxurious cocktail book featuring more than 300 divine recipes for sophisticated drinking. The Bartender's Collection offers more than 300 divine cocktail recipes, covering spirits-based, wine-based, beer-based and non-alcoholic drinks. Having cut his teeth at Sasha Petraske’s famed New York bar Milk & Honey, bartender Michael Madrusan brings with him years of experience to deliver golden era drinks. Starting with twists on classic negronis, martinis, champagne juleps, and gin fizzes, chapters also cover styles of beer, ideas for using port, sherry or champagne in cocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails, plus savoury drinks, like a Gordon’s Cup. Michael also includes tips and tricks for hosting your own cocktail party, from how to choose glasses, decorations and napkins to what to wear. Come on a journey through the ultimate cocktail evening, starting with aperitifs at dusk, through pre-dinner drinks and digestifs, with nightcaps to round it all off. And, should you need it, the Marmalade Cocktail is an inventive hair of the dog for the morning after too.
