## Description

Time-honored cocktails like the New York Sour and the Sidecar were born during the era of Prohibition, the blessedly bygone social experiment that turned drinking into an underground adventure. In those days, hard beverage options were usually made with homemade hooch and flavorings of dubious origin and quality. Thankfully, a cocktail renaissance has emerged in many of today’s bars, where inventive drinks showcase both the artistry and craft of bartending. At their moody and atmospheric West Village bar-restaurant Employees Only, master mixologists Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric can regale you with colorful tales of cocktail origins—or just pour you a mean drink. In Speakeasy
, Kosmas and Zaric take their inspiration from traditional favorites, then use the finest spirits, the freshest ingredients, and a good measure of reverence for their craft to elevate the mixed drink to artisanal status. More than 80 imaginative libations that riff on the classics are showcased in this one-of-a-kind collection. Recipes emphasize fresh fruits and herbs, homemade syrups and infusions, and a careful balancing of flavors, with a mind toward seasonality. A Ginger Smash is offered in four different versions: kumquat, pineapple, pear, or cranberry, depending on the time of year. The Millionaire becomes the Billionaire with the addition of homemade grenadine and 107-proof bourbon. And the South Side becomes the West Side by replacing the gin with sun-kissed Meyer lemon–infused vodka. With the specter of Prohibition firmly in the past, Speakeasy shares recipes for the choicest potent potables, reimagining the finest drinks of yesterday for today’s thirsty imbibers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to cocktail book
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2016*

Great cocktail book. I have a bunch of others, but this is definitely my go-to book when looking for a solid drink. It's certainly not an encyclopedia of different recipes, but rather a distillation (pun acknowledged) of classic and new recipes into a core set of reliable, interesting drinks. I personally hate bar books that have 1000 recipes, since it's impossible to narrow down which ones to choose, and even more impossible to randomly select a good drink. I'd much rather have a well-curated list of several dozen drinks to choose from. I was a bit nervous about it at first since most of the recipes in this book call for specific liquor brands or have relatively esoteric ingredients, but it turns out it's a great excuse to experiment a tiny bit. It also helps that many of the recipes have the classic formulation (e.g., classic Manhattan) and then the authors' take on the drink ("Manhattan cocktail"), which are often taken from historical formulations of the cocktail. You quickly realize that these drink recipes are a lot more malleable and forgiving than you'd otherwise think, and they have always been changing with the times. Overall a fun book, both for solid classics and for trying some new drinks. I've never yet had a drink go wrong, and have added about 10 awesome drinks to my rotation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great coffee table book
*by  on Reviewed in the United States August 3, 2025*

Awesome book of recipes and history

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best cocktail book I’ve read so far.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 21, 2018*

Love it! I have a few cocktail books and they always end up on the shelf unused. This book however is different. Once you try one of their recipes you’ll be hooked. We have tried a lot of them and they are all excellent. The same quality you would expect at an upscale bar. The pictures are beautiful and very helpful so you know what the final result should look like. I also like how each recipe has a chart at the bottom describing the flavors so you don’t waste your time and ingredients on something that probably won’t appeal to you. The only problem is that they are so good that you are going to end up drinking more and looking forward the next cocktail. It should probably come with a AA welcome packet.
