Death & Co builds the entire cocktail universe here on six foundational recipes, namely the old fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip, showing how pretty much everything else is a variation on them. It's a pedagogical trick that works far better than it sounds, and once you've read it you can improvise instead of looking things up. The book won both the James Beard Award and the Spirited Award. If you're only going to own one bar book, make it this one.
