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, youll understand why some cocktails work and others dont, when to shake and when to stir, what you can omit and what you can substitute when youre missing ingredients, why you like the drinks you do, and what sorts of drinks you should turn toor inventif you want to try something new.
