HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Dead Rabbit Mixology Mayhem
Book SynopsisDead Rabbit Grocery & Grog in lower Manhattan has won every cocktail award there is to win, including the 2016 'Best Bar in the World' title from Worlds50BestBars.com.Trade Review"In this excellent and unique cocktail book, Muldoon and McGarry, founders of New York City’s Dead Rabbit lounge (along with Vose, their bar manager), offer the establishment’s complete menu—a six-part, serialized graphic novel, with an additional 100 intricate craft cocktails. The darkly drawn protagonist, known as the Rabbit, is a “hybrid man-rabbit anti-hero” with a sinewy human torso and scary bunny head. Channeling John Morrissey, the leader of the 1850s Irish gang, the Dead Rabbits, but lurking in the shadows of Hell’s Kitchen, circa 1978, he drinks, gambles, and settles scores with a ruthless vengeance… [a] one-of-a-kind collection." —Publishers Weekly “The Dead Rabbit doesn’t do drinks lists, it builds worlds in which its cocktails exist. With Mixology & Mayhem, the team kicks open the doors to its creative process—and lets us travel deep into its award-winning comic book menus. Cocktail books have never been this fun, this daring or this outrageous. But then, this is far more than a cocktail book. Mixology & Mayhem is a Dead Rabbit cocktail book.” —Hamish Smith, Deputy Editor of Drinks International, Editor of CLASS magazine “Yes, this is a book with cocktail recipes. But no way is it simply a cocktail recipe book. With its insights into the background of the bar, invaluable tips on how to create a cocktail menu and specs for some of the most popular drinks from their multi-award-winning menus, it’s a must-have for every bartender. Like everything this crew turn their hands to, it’s ballsy, no-nonsense—and absolutely awesome.” —Sandrae Lawrence and Gary Sharpen, The Cocktail Lovers “The last decade has seen cocktail books published by some of the most talented figures in the bar world. Many of these books contain excellent recipes. But Mixology & Mayhem goes far beyond excellent recipes. As you read this book, you'll quickly see that the team spends as much time (if not more) investigating and evolving the menu concept as creating their world-class drinks. Painstaking research, ridiculous levels of hard work and extreme amounts of talent are the reason these menus and the bar itself have deservedly won so many awards. The Dead Rabbit is the most perfectly realized bar concept since Trader Vic’s, and there’s something valuable in this book for everyone in our industry to learn.” —Nick Strangeway, Global Cocktail Authority —

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Japanese Art Of The Cocktail

He is, in other words, both the diamond and the shine. You couldn’t hope for a better guide through the intricacies and delights of Japan’s many contributions to artful drinking. — Robert Simonson, The New York Times After you’ve visited the world’s best bars, discover some new cocktails to make at home with this new cocktail book, from Masahiro Urushido and Michael Anstendig. Inspired by the joyful and vibrant cocktail culture in Japan, the book offers unique spins on classic drinks (like a ‘Meguroni’, their take on the classic Negroni) and easy-to-follow instructions for new libations as well. The book has been nominated for and won a ton of awards, including a 2022 Tales of the Cocktail Award. Everything is showcased through beautiful photographs and housed in a hardcover tome that wouldn’t look out of place on your bar cart or coffee table. If you’ve got a cocktail lover or bartending enthusiast in mind, this book makes the best Christmas gift of the season. — Tim Chan, Rolling Stone One of the best cocktail books to come out in years, The Japanese Art of the Cocktail will have you creating fabulous drinks with new-found ingredients. You'll learn to make the perfect Highball and even whip up some great drinks-friendly bar snacks en route. — Mark Stock, Men’s Health Even wine lovers like a good cocktail now and then, especially when presented in a meticulous, beautiful way, which is why The Japanese Art of the Cocktail is a worthy gift that both inspires and whets the appetite….Part memoir, part travelogue, part recipe book, this piece will long make a fashionable statement on the coffee table or bookshelf. — Jessica Dupuy, Forbes The Japanese Art of the Cocktail is more than just a cocktail book...Mixologist Masahiro Urushido’s debut recipe book, co-authored with drinks writer Michael Anstendig, is part cocktail book, part memoir. It tells Urushido’s story while introducing readers to the cocktail recipes he’s created along the way. — Isoke Samuel, Food52 In his book, Urushido gives his ode to Japanese mixology with eighty curated recipes, each sublime enough to be served on a highball. There's also beautiful photography to boot, and the break-down of generational cocktail techniques that'll get you wonderstruck on "Oh so this is how that works". — Esquire Considered the Oscars of the cocktail industry, the Spirited Awards recognize winners in categories like Bartender of the Year, Best Brand Ambassador, and Best Cocktail Bar. The Spirited Awards also recognize cocktail writing. This year's winner for best new cocktail or bartending book was the Japanese Art of the Cocktail. — Town & Country His book takes you inside a world grounded in the classics, but popping with eye-catching color and intense flavors that borrow from Japanese gardens and forests, as in his bracingly fresh Hinoki Martini, made with a tincture fashioned from cypress tree oil. A chapter on highballs displays a penchant for supercharging populist formulas with seasoned salts, infusions and an engineer’s concern for achieving maximum coldness. — Christopher Ross, PUNCH This is the ultimate cocktail book for the man who's ready to take his drinking-making skills from great to sublime—and it's written by the bartender of an Esquire Best Bar winner, Katana Kitten in New York. — Esquire Editors, Esquire Part memoir, part travel guide, part recipe book, The Japanese Art of the Cocktail introduces us to the historical and philosophical underpinnings of Japan's approach to mixing drinks, and showcases more than 90 recipes from Masahiro Urushido, who authored the book alongside Michael Anstendig. — Christie's International Real Estate Magazine A palimpsest if there ever was one, the story of the cocktail has been written, erased, and rewritten on the same sliver of land—Manhattan—for well over a century; and the author before you will leave his mark there, too. Masa Urushido’s improbable journey from Nagano, Japan, to his perch at Katana Kitten on Hudson Street is one of a growing number of influential cross-pollinations between the cocktail cultures of Tokyo and Manhattan that once bred New York bars in Tokyo and Tokyo bars in Manhattan, and has gradually hybridized into an unclassified, genre-defying, Nikkei-like approach to cocktails in each city. If you read this tenderly written, beautifully photographed text by one of America and Japan’s most rightfully beloved bartenders closely, I believe you’ll begin to see a new way of tending bar and mixing drinks emerging—undeniably Japanese, but distinguishably American, too—like a flower blossoming improbably between the tiles of a heavily trodden sidewalk in either town. — Jim Meehan, author of Meehan's Bartender Manual and The PDT Cocktail Book

Book Synopsis It’s a system, a tool kit, a recipe book. Beginning with one irresistible idea--a complete home bar of just 12 key bottles--here’s how to make more than 200 classic and unique mixed drinks, including sours, slings, toddies, and highballs, plus the perfect Martini, the perfect Manhattan, and the perfect Mint Julep. It’s a surprising guide--tequila didn’t make the cut, and neither did bourbon, but genever did. And it’s a literate guide--describing with great liveliness everything from the importance of vermouth and bitters (the “salt and pepper” of mixology) to the story of a punch bowl so big it was stirred by a boy in a rowboat. Trade Review"It's the bane of the home mixologist -- complicated cocktail recipes that call for multiple (and often pricey) esoteric liquors doomed to be used once, then linger for years at the back of the cabinet. Convinced there had to be a better way to stock a bar, Lesley Jacobs Solmonson and husband David Solmonson set out to cull the cocktail herd and home in on only the most essential ingredients for great drinking." - J.M. Hirsch, Associated Press "Starting a home bar from scratch can be daunting and expensive... With the right selection, you can keep your stash simple and still be able to make just about every cocktail you could imagine." - Brooklynmagazine "Make enough cocktails to last you a lifetime. Limited to only seven spirits, one liqueur, two vermouths and two styles of bitters, you will indeed have a collection that in many ways will exceed most typical bars around the country." - Good Spirits News "Here's to smart barkeeping: Make hundreds of cocktails from a mere dozen bottles." - Cooking Light "A great home bar is an abridged one... The 12 Bottle Bar offers tips on stocking enough liquor to keep your cocktail list large but your investment small." - Los Angeles magazine "An innovative idea." -Town & Country "Covers the bases of modern cocktail making thoroughly." - Kindred Cocktails "Maximum cocktail potential from just a few bottles." - Liquor.com "The perfect precursor to a establishing a successful home or cafe beverage program." - Fresh Cup "How many cocktails could you make using just 12 bottles without sacrificing flavor, technique, or creativity? The answer: enough to give your local molecular mixologist a run for his money." - Publishers Weekly--AP

Andrews McMeel Publishing From Barley to Blarney
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive field guide to Ireland's robust and growing whiskey scene is the ultimate itinerary for whiskey beginners and connoisseurs, alike.An Irish whiskey guru, two bartender behemoths, and an adept writer combine forces to create this comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey. The book begins with an in-depth introduction to whiskey and its history in Ireland, including what makes each style of Irish whiskey unique. What follows is a detailed tour, including photographs, around the four Irish provinces, and of the 22 different distilleries and the unique Irish whiskeys each produces, as well as a discussion of the booming present and promising future for Irish whiskey producers. Each province also highlights the best of Ireland's 50 iconic bars and pubs, linking past to present and providing the ultimate whiskey tourist itinerary. The fun really begins when the masterminds behind 2015’s “World’s Best Bar,” Dead Rabbit Grocery and GrTrade Review“This colorful new book provides a tour of today’s distilleries, some with venerable roots, but most starting quite recently to meet the newly skyrocketing demand.” (The New York times)“A sophisticated guide for fans of Irish whiskey. It’s beautifully designed and illustrated . . . I can’t imagine returning to Ireland without a copy tucked away.” (The Wall Street Journal)"If you knew nothing about Irish whiskey before picking up the book, it doesn’t matter. By the end, you’ll have not only a solid base of Irish whiskey and Irish pub knowledge but also the will and wish to hop on the first jet to Dublin and start your very own journey." (Sam Slaughter, The Manual)“If you’re a serious Irish whiskey connoisseur, you’ll find plenty to interest you. But if you don’t know about the har stuff, [there is] information on its history and how it’s made. If you’re a devotee of great pubs, you’ll be spoiled for choice. And if you love a good cocktail, Jack McGarry created 12 original recipes. . . ” (The Irish Times)“If this was a book that had been done from the desk, as it easily could have been, it might have ended up as a dry encyclopedia that was useful as a reference work but not something you’d read cover to cover. However, by visiting all the pubs and distilleries, and talking to the owners and the experts, each entry is filled with conversation as well as information. The reader hears directly from the distiller or the pub owner, and we all know there’s no conversation like an Irish conversation. All you need is a session of live Irish music playing in the background, and you could be there with them.” (Travel Distilled)“Irish whiskey is a spirit unto itself, and lovers of Scotch or Bourbon can argue, but Irish whiskey purists know the craic (fun) is in the neat pour with good friends. This book was born from a whiskey guru, two bartender behemoths, to create this comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey.” (Monsters & Critics)Everyone should have "take a road trip through Ireland" on their bucket list — this is speaking from experience — and for whiskey lovers there’s now a definitive guide: "From Barley to Blarney," written by the founders of the Dead Rabbit.
