Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions [A Cocktail Recipe Book]

Bought as a gift for my nephew, great book & I'm sure he will like it

Beautiful and informative book. Useful for all readers but probably best for people with especial interest in cocktails and who already know their way around a well stocked bar. Laughably cheap for such a beautiful hardback (I got it for GBP11 - ABSURD).

In time, the perfect package and in a good condition

This book is perfect for someone who wants to learn how to mix drinks to their own accord and break some rules rather than just have a recipe to go by and nothing else. This book explains that every single cocktails can be traced back to six root cocktails. "There are only six cocktails. The Old Fashioned, Martini, Daiquiri, Sidecar, Whiskey Highball and Flip. Once you understand the hows and whys of each root recipe you'll be able to invent entirely new cocktails.

Heavy book but so fill of amazing cocktail information.

really well written. I am a novice and enjoyed learning about how to make cocktails based on 6 core cocktails and then being able to develop it. I also really liked the fact they recommend brands / types of alcohol to buy which fits each sytle. Recommended!

A really nice book, but unfortunately came dirty in one of the corners…😔 don’t have time to return it as it’s a present so will have to go like this.

This book is an amazing insight into ideology and has changed the way I do the basics which in turn has improved the cocktails I produce immeasurably. Any amuture mixologist needs this in thier bookshelf

Awesome

Es un libro que estaba buscando desde que empecé como bartender 10/10

While these authors first book Death and Co was the book that first got me into cocktails (what took my bar from a 10 to 50 bottle bar), this book is a lovely logical next step for these authors. Have read both of these books front to back, and here is what I like more about each one: Best about Cocktail Codex: -Matured Theory Behind Cocktail Building: With 5-10 years more experience on the authors hand, they very clearly explain the 6 'classes' of cocktails with simple words and explanations that just make sense. They did have classes of cocktails in their first book, but years of sipping and mixing have matured those into the best categories I have seen in a book to-date (just as Martin Cate categorized rums clearly in Smugglers Cove). I feel like I can create cocktails myself using these cocktails templates/classes better than I could with their first book. -Slightly Better Bottle Recommendations: more pages spent on what bottles to get in each category, and the authors focus on bottles that are more obtainable to find in an everyday market and not just the NYC market. -Vodka Cocktails not Ignored: the industry has matured to accepting vodka cocktails again as an important part of American cocktail history, and they now have classic vodka cocktails where this category was purposefully withheld in their first book -New Techniques Explored: centrifuging, smoking, clarifying, and new techniques that have been explored since their first book are detailed in this new book. Got to stay on top of your game with the latest and greatest. -Less 'Crazy' Recipes: The recipes in this book very generally call for slightly less infused spirits and crazy modifiers. I think I can make many more %-wise from this book with my existing bar (albeit large) compared to Death and Co.... or maybe my bar has just grown since I got their first book. Best about Death and Co: -Techniques and Bar Basics: the techniques section of this book is simply amazing. Best in class. Multiple pages on how to stir correctly, multi drink stirs, shake. If you could give just one book to a newbie, this is the book, largely due to clearly explained basics directly from the industry leaders. -Classic and Vintage Cocktail Section: If you are looking for recipes for the most famous cocktails, and the ones where someone new to this hobby would want to start, this section is amazing! -Crazy Recipes: Following the classic and vintage cocktail section, you get hundreds of cocktails from their own menu. I havn't heard of many other world famous bars printing exact recipes for their creations, so this is an incredible resource. Just know some of these recipes are almost unobtainably difficult (infused spirits, mixes with recipes printed in the book that have components with recipes printed another place so multi-step ordeals), but that is what makes many of these cocktails so amazing Best about Both: -Stunning Photos: both are coffee table material -Solid Hardback Build Quality: both from 10 speed press, they don't skimp on quality -Authors leading the industry If you can buy only one cocktail book, get (1) death and Co first. If you can get two cocktail books, add (2) Cocktail Codex. After that, want: (3a) tiki get Smugglers Cove, want (3b) amari drinks get Amaro: The Spirited...., want (3c) science & chemistry get Liquid Intelligence, want (3d) cocktail history and bar logistics get Meehan's Bartender Manual, the list of amazing books goes on! Amazing work Alex, Nick, & David!

Fiziksel formu için söylenecek tek bir olumsuz şey yok; kaliteli sert kapak, yüksek baskı kalitesi ve sayfaları ayrılma/kopma korkusu olmadan çevirmenize imkan sağlayan kaliteli ciltleme. İçerik olarak çok zengin bir kitap, sadece kokteyl tarifleriyle sınırlı kalmayıp gerçek anlamda kokteyl hazırlama mantığını kavramaya yönelik içeriklerle dolu. Ekipman, teknik, tavsiyelerle zenginleştirilmiş çok kapsamlı bir kitap olmuş. Henüz elime ulaştığı için deneyimlerimü paylaşma şansım yok, tarif sayısına bakınca dişe dokunur bir kanı oluşturabilmek için oldukça uzun bir zaman gerekeceği de açık ancak açıp açıp karıştırılacak, keyifli keşifler yaptıracak bir kitap olduğunu söyleyebilirim.
