I have had a busy month, and am just getting caught back up. I’ve been trying to keep my jaw off the table when drooling over your drink posts, and thankful you guys are posting where you found it. One of my favorite things about to do when I’m not making cocktails is finding books about the craft. We’ve all seen and probably had stacks of the “10,001 cocktail recipes” books, but I want to know what you guys are reading. has a pretty comprehensive selection on his Amazon storefront, just waiting for him to publish!! My collection consists of:
Cocktail codex
Death & Co Welcome Home
Dave Arnold’s Liquid Intelligence
Last Call - Brad Thomas Parsons (excellent book!)
Amaro- Brad Thomas Parsons
Bitters- Brad Thomas Parsons
Steve the bartender’s cocktail guide
Bar book- Jeremy morganthaler
Shrubs: An Old-Fashioned Drink for Modern Times- Michael Diestch
Flavor bible- Karen page and Andrew dornenburg
(Not directly cocktail but a guide to culinary tasting and an index of flavor affinities)
