Welcome to The Madrusan Cocktail Companion, the impeccably comprehensive one-stop guide to classic drinks from every era, plus the best modern cocktails, curated by oracle Michael Madrusan with contributions from world-leading bartenders.
Expanded from an in-house manual conceived and curated by Michael as the go-to resource for teams at his acclaimed bars, and shared by the professional drinks community as a treasured educational resource, it includes more than 2800 drinks - tried, tested and updated for the modern palate.
Michael and Zara Madrusan draw on their own extensive library of books that date back to 1862 to present the stories behind the cocktail canon, alongside all the best variations, categorised by origin and by ingredient, and with an emphasis on readily available products and minimal preparation.
Whether it's every imaginable twist on the Martini in the past 100 years, Sours, Bucks and Flips for all tastes, or aperitivo-style and non-alcoholic options, every drink worth knowing about is here. Including an insider's guide to home bar excellence, and jovial toasts and quotes from history's most influential bartenders, The Madrusan Cocktail Companion is a spectacular compendium for the new age of drinking discernment.
Includes the origin and story behind the key cocktails, essential know-how for home bartenders, imperial and metric measurements, and stunning photography in a spectacular hardback package - complete with dual ribbons and sprayed edges.
