Its a system, a tool kit, a recipe book. Beginning with one irresistible idea--a complete home bar of just 12 key bottles--heres how to make more than 200 classic and unique mixed drinks, including sours, slings, toddies, and highballs, plus the perfect Martini, the perfect Manhattan, and the perfect Mint Julep. Its a surprising guide--tequila didnt make the cut, and neither did bourbon, but genever did. And its a literate guide--describing with great liveliness everything from the importance of vermouth and bitters (the salt and pepper of mixology) to the story of a punch bowl so big it was stirred by a boy in a rowboat.
