: :
: Dale DeGroff is widely regarded as the world's foremost mixologist. Hailed :
: by the New York Times as "single-handedly responsible for what's been :
: called the cocktail renaissance," he earned this reputation during his :
: twelve years at the fashionable Promenade Bar in New York City's Rainbow :
: Room. It was there in 1987 that he not only reintroduced the cocktail menu :
: to the country but also began mixing drinks from scratch, using impeccably :
: fresh ingredients instead of the widespread mixes used at the time. Known :
: especially for crafting unique cocktails, reviving classics, and coaxing :
: superior flavor from his ingredients, DeGroff has selected his 100 :
: essential drinks and 100 of their best variations--including many of his :
: signature cocktails--for this premier mixology guide. :
: :
: The Essential Cocktail features only those drinks that stand out for their :
: flavor, interesting formula, or distinctive technique. These are the very :
: ones every amateur and professional bartender must know, the martinis, :
: sours, highballs, tropicals, punches, sweets, and classics, both old and :
: new, that form the core of a connoisseur's repertoire. Throughout the book :
: are DeGroff's personal twists, such as a tangy Grapefruit Julep or a :
: refreshing Yuzu Gimlet. :
: :
: To complement the tantalizing photographs of each essential cocktail, :
: DeGroff also regales readers with the fascinating lore behind a drink's :
: genesis and instructs us on using the right ingredients, techniques, :
: glasses, and garnishes. As Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French :
: Cooking was the classic compendium for home chefs and gourmands, so The :
: Essential Cocktail will be the go-to book for serious mixologists and :
: cocktail enthusiasts. :
