Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions [A Cocktail Recipe Book]

Good condition

Mixologist „Mast have!“

Fiziksel formu için söylenecek tek bir olumsuz şey yok; kaliteli sert kapak, yüksek baskı kalitesi ve sayfaları ayrılma/kopma korkusu olmadan çevirmenize imkan sağlayan kaliteli ciltleme.İçerik olarak çok zengin bir kitap, sadece kokteyl tarifleriyle sınırlı kalmayıp gerçek anlamda kokteyl hazırlama mantığını kavramaya yönelik içeriklerle dolu. Ekipman, teknik, tavsiyelerle zenginleştirilmiş çok kapsamlı bir kitap olmuş. Henüz elime ulaştığı için deneyimlerimü paylaşma şansım yok, tarif sayısına bakınca dişe dokunur bir kanı oluşturabilmek için oldukça uzun bir zaman gerekeceği de açık ancak açıp açıp karıştırılacak, keyifli keşifler yaptıracak bir kitap olduğunu söyleyebilirim.

Sehr schön verarbeitet. Ich habe das Buch zusätzlich zum Death & Co Buch gekauft und die Inhalte ergänzen sich. Ich kann es empfehlen.Nicht nur viele Rezepte, aber auch viel über das Handwerk.

Una volta scoperta un'armonia di sapori, odori e colori in una ricetta si possono andare a definire le caratteristiche salienti di questa in rapporto ai loro contrari su di una scala da 1 a 10 (basta avere tra le mani un dizionario dei sinonimi e dei contrari ovverosia un Thesaurus) analizzando poi le medesime caratteristiche in ogni componente suscettibile dunque di poter essere sostituito con un altro omologo per quanto concerne le caratteristiche salienti misurate a formare una nuova ricetta ma con sfumature diverse che la rendono per queste diversa ed unica. Scoprire quindi in tal modo - Thesaurus alla mano - i segreti dell'armoniosità in cucina ed al bar può espandere le nostre abilità creative sul versante di nuove proposte migliorative del business.

Really recommends for the beginners.

Nice gift

One of the best cocktails book with a lot of recipes, history,tehniq how to prepare ingredients and how to start to create your own cocktails using well known classics. Also the book is full with beautiful pictures of the cocktails

One of the greatest cocktail books I've ever come across. The way that Mixology is explained in this book is one of a kind, deconstructing every element of classic cocktails into individual ingredients brings a new perspective to mixing cocktails. Through practical experiments in the book, you can start thinking about how you like to drink cocktails, move away from 'set in stone' recipes and start creating your own variations. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book for complete beginners, as many of the methods and recipes discussed are quite complex (Start with 'Joy of Mixology' by Gary Regan), but anyone interested in upping their cocktail game has to get this book.

Awesome

While these authors first book Death and Co was the book that first got me into cocktails (what took my bar from a 10 to 50 bottle bar), this book is a lovely logical next step for these authors. Have read both of these books front to back, and here is what I like more about each one:Best about Cocktail Codex:-Matured Theory Behind Cocktail Building: With 5-10 years more experience on the authors hand, they very clearly explain the 6 'classes' of cocktails with simple words and explanations that just make sense. They did have classes of cocktails in their first book, but years of sipping and mixing have matured those into the best categories I have seen in a book to-date (just as Martin Cate categorized rums clearly in Smugglers Cove). I feel like I can create cocktails myself using these cocktails templates/classes better than I could with their first book.-Slightly Better Bottle Recommendations: more pages spent on what bottles to get in each category, and the authors focus on bottles that are more obtainable to find in an everyday market and not just the NYC market.-Vodka Cocktails not Ignored: the industry has matured to accepting vodka cocktails again as an important part of American cocktail history, and they now have classic vodka cocktails where this category was purposefully withheld in their first book-New Techniques Explored: centrifuging, smoking, clarifying, and new techniques that have been explored since their first book are detailed in this new book. Got to stay on top of your game with the latest and greatest.-Less 'Crazy' Recipes: The recipes in this book very generally call for slightly less infused spirits and crazy modifiers. I think I can make many more %-wise from this book with my existing bar (albeit large) compared to Death and Co.... or maybe my bar has just grown since I got their first book.Best about Death and Co:-Techniques and Bar Basics: the techniques section of this book is simply amazing. Best in class. Multiple pages on how to stir correctly, multi drink stirs, shake. If you could give just one book to a newbie, this is the book, largely due to clearly explained basics directly from the industry leaders.-Classic and Vintage Cocktail Section: If you are looking for recipes for the most famous cocktails, and the ones where someone new to this hobby would want to start, this section is amazing!-Crazy Recipes: Following the classic and vintage cocktail section, you get hundreds of cocktails from their own menu. I havn't heard of many other world famous bars printing exact recipes for their creations, so this is an incredible resource. Just know some of these recipes are almost unobtainably difficult (infused spirits, mixes with recipes printed in the book that have components with recipes printed another place so multi-step ordeals), but that is what makes many of these cocktails so amazingBest about Both:-Stunning Photos: both are coffee table material-Solid Hardback Build Quality: both from 10 speed press, they don't skimp on quality-Authors leading the industryIf you can buy only one cocktail book, get (1) death and Co first. If you can get two cocktail books, add (2) Cocktail Codex. After that, want: (3a) tiki get Smugglers Cove, want (3b) amari drinks get Amaro: The Spirited...., want (3c) science & chemistry get Liquid Intelligence, want (3d) cocktail history and bar logistics get Meehan's Bartender Manual, the list of amazing books goes on!Amazing work Alex, Nick, & David!
