Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Bamboo

    • Totallywired on October 13, 2018

      Great balance, fragrance.

  • French 75

    • Baxter850 on July 24, 2020

      Same specs of PDT Cocktail Book except type of champagne.

  • Hemingway daiquiri

    • Totallywired on October 24, 2018

      Made the alternate version, without crushed ice. Delicious drink. Amber rum works as well.

  • Tommy's margarita

    • Baxter850 on October 21, 2018

      Perfect. Subbed El Todoro Reposado.

  • Sazerac

    • Totallywired on February 21, 2019

      I love a sazerac, and this recipe ensures a balanced, fragrant, complex drink. Would welcome a simple syrup spec instead of a cube (mine are not uniform) but perhaps a syrup would mess with the texture. I prefer to split the base with cognac, as suggested as an alternative.

  • Duboudreau cocktail

    • Totallywired on November 28, 2018

      Lemon twist is very key here, fragrance welcome and tames the bite of the fernet on the finish. Good drink but not essential.

  • Jack Rose

    • Baxter850 on April 15, 2020

      This is the best and easiest of the cocktail books so far. Adding cognac (aka Nomad and D&C) just complicates matters and requires a proportional substitution of simple syrup for grenadine to balance the dryness/tartness.

  • Champs-Élysées

    • Totallywired on March 15, 2019

      Felt like the ango and the green chartreuse were not complementary, and the cocktail lacked viscosity (my fault for substituting sugar for simple syrup) Some versions omit the bitters. Might try that.

  • Newark

    • Totallywired on October 23, 2018

      Terrific. Maybe slightly overbalanced on the maraschino bit it pairs so well with (used here) Boulard calvados.

  • Japanese cocktail
