And in their new book, the story of these two men, who have become admired cocktail-makers, makes a good read.

Pick up The Dead Rabbit Drinks Manual and find out what makes a ‘hundred year bar.’ ” —Dale DeGroff, author of The Craft of the Cocktail “If ever a cocktail book was a grimoire of occult potionology, it’s this one.
