This isn’t a recipe book, it’s a toolkit.

It’s a book about mixing for all of us who are curious about liquor and mixed drinks, but not obsessed about random details – not yet, anyway. It’s for all of us who are ready to explore something new, find flavors and combinations that work for us, and have fun making a mess without spending hundreds of dollars on exotic bottles and implements that we’ll only use once. This is a book for all of us who like to experiment, but want a framework for navigating a world of jargon, for creating rather than memorizing.

Have you ever wondered:

• The hidden patterns behind the world’s classic cocktails?
• What makes some drinks pop while others fall flat?
• How to create your own signature cocktails from scratch?
• How you can to begin building your own home bar, bottle by bottle?

If you’re ready to level up your cocktail game, then grab a glass and let’s get mixing!
