"There are only six cocktails." So say Alex Day, Nick Fauchald, and David Kaplan, the visionaries behind the seminal craft cocktail bar Death & Co. In Cocktail Codex, these experts reveal for the first time their surprisingly simple approach to mastering cocktails: the "root recipes," six easily identifiable (and memorizable!) templates that encompass all cocktails: the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip. Once you understand the hows and whys of each "family," you'll understand why some cocktails work and others don't, when to shake and when to stir, what you can omit and what you can substitute when you're missing ingredients, why you like the drinks you do, and what sorts of drinks you should turn to--or invent--if you want to try something new.
Wonderful history Interesting additionAmazing Follow-Up to Death and Co 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 amazingBest 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 industryIf 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!BRILLIANT!
