How To Make Better Cocktails by Candra

Nominated for the 18th annual Spirited Awards in two categories - Best New Cocktail or Bartending Book and Best Cocktail & Spirits Publication - presented by Tales of the Cocktail Foundation.

How to Make Better Cocktails is a book for anyone wanting to improve their drinks-making skills. No gimmicks, no pretensions - just the skills, techniques and principles used by the best bartenders in the world.

This book simplifies confusing terminology and complex techniques to unlock the magic of 70 classic and original cocktail recipes, and teaches you everything you need to know to master hundreds more.

With a comprehensive introduction to everything from balance and dilution to how to achieve the perfect foam (and why a chopstick is an essential piece of kit), 70 recipes and a host of nerdy focus sections on hero drinks such as the Dry Martini and Daiquiri, this is the home bartender's bible.
