The PDT Cocktail Book by Jim Meehan

Beautifully illustrated, designed and crafted, just like its namesake, this is the ultimate bar book by NYC's most meticulous bartender, Jim Meehan. To say that PDT is a unique bar is an understatement. It recalls the era of hidden Prohibition speakeasies: to gain access, you walk into a raucous hot dog stand, step into a phone booth, and get permission to enter the serene cocktail lounge. Now, Jim Meehan, PDT's innovative operator and mixmaster, is revolutionizing bar books, too, offering all 304 cocktail recipes available at PDT plus behind-the-scenes secrets. From his bar design, tools and equipment to his techniques, food, and spirits, it's all here, stunningly illustrated by Chris Gall.
