The 25 Cocktail Books Bartenders Swear By
Briefly

"One of my favorite books on cocktails and bartending. It unravels one of the first cocktail books, How to Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant's Companion, and its author Jerry Thomas. It's the perfect balance of colorful writing, history, a good bit of detective work and cocktails." - Charles Joly, bar partner for Virgin Hotels New York
"In 2015, Derek was named Imbibe Magazine's 'Bartender of the Year,' and in 2017, his bar Columbia Room won the 'Best American Cocktail Bar' at the Spirited Awards. Now, as a mindful drinking advocate, Derek provides an invaluable resource for bartenders. The book offers a comprehensive guide to crafting sophisticated non-alcoholic cocktails, an increasingly important category in 2024. It's packed with great recipes that are both approachable and satisfying." - Ian Blessing, co-founder of All The Bitter and former sommelier at The French Laundry
"Early in my career, the notion of creating new cocktails was steeped in adventure and experimentation. Liquid Intelligence brings that to the forefront, focusing on the scientific aspects that can transform the drink-making process into something more precise and innovative. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to elevate their cocktail game, offering insights beyond mere recipes." - Anonymous mixologist
