Editorial Assessment

The PDT Cocktail Book captures the spirit of one of New York's most iconic speakeasy-style bars. Jim Meehan's attention to detail — from glassware selection to garnish technique — makes this far more than a recipe book. It is an education in the professional craft of bartending.
