The updated edition of The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails runs past 400 recipes, drawn from bartenders worldwide with a heavy New York accent, and carries the paper's writing alongside them.
Steve Reddicliffe, who wrote the Times' "Quiet Drink" column, brings the classics you'd expect — Martini, Old-Fashioned, Manhattan, French 75, Negroni — plus the newer generation of drinks that came out of the craft distilling boom. It's arranged by cocktail type with essays running throughout, and includes the practical groundwork on setting up, stocking and running a home bar. Enough book to be the only one you need, whether you're pouring for two or for thirty.
