"I'd peg this as the gift book of the season for the serious
cocktail fan: It's extravagantly illustrated by artist Chris Gall,
beautifully designed, fun to browse and possessed of a satisfying
heft. And there are some 300 drink recipes, many extraordinary, to
adapt as your own classic and new-classic cocktails." —The
Wall Street Journal "Jim Meehan seamlessly blends classic
and cutting-edge in The PDT Cocktail Book, and the result is
basically a new-school bible for the cocktail geek. The book covers
everything from barware to bacon-infused bourbon, complete with
illustrations by Chris Gall. Buy two--despite your best gift-giving
intentions, this is a book you'll want to keep for yourself.
—MensHealth.com "Cocktails are evolving and becoming more
culinary and with that evolution more skill is required from the
craftsmen and women who make them. Jim Meehan of PDT is busily
mapping the DNA of cutting edge cocktails and I am delighted he has
decided to publish his delicious findings. The PDT Cocktail Book is
a marvelous, classically illustrated book that I believe to be the
book of the decade if not more." —Dale DeGroff, master mixologist
and founding president of The Museum of the American
Cocktail "Jim Meehan's book is, as the subtitle says, a manual
for bartenders, and one that will undoubtedly become a bible for
many of them. But any cook--or, for that matter, person--who's
seriously interested in mixology will quickly realize it's the
definitive work, a roadmap for a lifetime of amazing
cocktails." — Mark Bittman, New York Times columnist and
author of How to Cook Everything "Americans have always loved
drinking, but in the past five years or so America has recommitted
itself to learning to drink well! Jim Meehan has helped lead
this joyful renaissance, but his specific influence has been to
decouple drink perfection from pompousness. Quality drinking
should be as unintimidating and fun as it is delicious and smart:
that's Jim Meehan's doing. I'm so glad he's written this
beautiful book -- shake yourself up an Applejack Rabbit, sit down,
and read this like a novel".—Rachel Maddow, host of The
Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC "I've imbibed every drink in this
book; whether I can recall all the nights spent at PDT is another
story. Jim Meehan has written a manifesto for aspiring drunks and
bartenders alike." —David Chang, chef/owner of Momofuku
