Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Honey syrup

  • Deep blue sea

    • Totallywired on December 21, 2018

      Delicious, off-dry, fragrant, gin forward.

  • Gin & It

    • Totallywired on October 10, 2018

      Simple and delicious. Lemon twist is crucial. Made with Carpano Antica.

  • Left hand

    • Totallywired on October 09, 2018

      Delicious, warmer, rounder version of a Boulevardier

  • Red Hook cocktail

    • Totallywired on October 22, 2018

      Best with a spicy, high test rye like Rittenhouse, otherwise the maraschino dominates too much. Lot 40 works as well. Of all the Brooklyn variations, I think I prefer the Bensonhurst overall.

  • Cosmonaut

    • SheilaS on December 31, 2018

      I substituted homemade cranberry sauce (from a recipe in Shaya) that includes rosemary and vanilla for the raspberry jam and thought the tartness worked well in this cocktail.

  • Debbie, don't

    • Totallywired on October 14, 2018

      Really well balanced. Could use a double strain.

  • Rye hummingbird down

    • Totallywired on February 11, 2019

      Another citrus and syrup in equal parts drink from this book that reads too sweet. Chartreuse here offers enough interest to distract but finish is all dissolved honey. Pleasant enough, but makes you want a stronger or bitter drink.

  • Saladito

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on January 19, 2019

      Used chili flakes instead of cayenne pepper, it looked beautiful and tasted excellent.

  • French 75

    • Baxter850 on July 24, 2020

      Same specs as Meehan, except Sasha calls for gin or cognac. My favorite French 75 spec.

    • wcassity on September 22, 2021

      Delicious. Used gin, homemade grenadine in place of simple syrup, and cava.

  • The stark

    • Totallywired on February 03, 2019

      Stunning cocktail. Great sweet/sour balance, floral and intriguing chartreuse flavour. Ango float is key and genius.

    Yes, it is a book of craft cocktails, but if you plan, you will not need to spend hours in the kitchen conjuring up tinctures and aging bitters...
