Notes about Recipes in this book

  • The vieux carré

    • peaceoutdesign on June 04, 2024

      I was intrigued by two bartenders pondering how to make a Vieux Carre. They didn't have Benedictine so they subbed in Green Chatruesse which I would never have thought of. I immediately made it when I got home, it is a Manhatten riff and I enjoyed it. Although this recipe has the bitters and alcohol as open-ended, it is traditionally Rye and Cognac, Angostura and Peychauds.

      Simple serviceable cocktail. Will do the trick without stealing the show. Add extra dash (or two) of root beer bitters.

  • Strawberry syrup

    • peaceoutdesign on August 13, 2023

      This didn't use enough strawberries. I modified it by using 250 g of both strawberries and sugar. The bitters added needed depth. (the recipe ended up being a blend with Cocktail Codex's version)

Offering a foundational approach to cocktails, this interactive manual from a James Beard Award-winning trailblazer will have you understanding and creating original drinks like a seasoned barkeep.

Take a raucous romp through the essential stages of fashioning cocktails and learn the hows and whys of bartending with acclaimed mixologist Toby Maloney and the team from The Violet Hour. When the pioneering cocktail bar opened in Chicago in 2007, it set a high standard with an innovative training program that teaches not just how to replicate classic cocktail recipes flawlessly, but how to embrace ingenuity, make smart decisions, and create original, inspired recipes from rote. Like cooks who can peer into their pantry and whip up dinner on the fly, no recipe needed, those who follow the methods in The Bartender's Manifesto will have the technical foundation and confidence to take their cocktail skills to the next level and fabricate a drink from any ingredients at hand.

Lessons and interactive elements like quizzes and DIY exercises dive deep into the mechanics of creating cocktails with the right balance, texture, aroma, and temperature. From there, Toby goes well beyond the fine-tuned mechanics of the craft, covering how to kickstart the creative process and bring professional-level complexity and sophistication to drinks. Additional essays offer insider intel on how to offer top-notch hospitality (at the bar and at home), find comfort in the everyday rituals of the craft, and spark surprise and curiosity in the process. With detailed insights into The Violet Hour’s greatest recipes, expert tips from bar alumni, and helpful step-by-step illustrations and photographs, readers will come away with a deeper understanding of what makes the bar’s training program so legendary, plus the superpower of creating imaginative cocktails that reflect their personal style and creativity.
