Now you don't have to leave your home to learn how to mix and serve the sensational cocktails created by Jim Meehan, the nationally renowned mixologist at PDT, one of New York City's hottest bars. Beautifully illustrated, beautifully designed, and beautifully crafted--just like its namesake--this is the ultimate bar book by NYC's most meticulous bartender.   To say that PDT is a unique bar is an understatement. It recalls the era of hidden Prohibition speakeasies: to gain access, you walk into a raucous hot dog stand, step into a phone booth, and get permission to enter the serene cocktail lounge. Now, Jim Meehan, PDT's innovative operator and mixmaster, is revolutionizing bar books, too, offering all 304 cocktail recipes available at PDT plus behind-the-scenes secrets. From his bar design, tools, and equipment to his techniques, food, and spirits, it's all here, stunningly illustrated by Chris Gall.  … (more)

I decided to throw my name on the waiting list at PDT and see if I could get past the phone booth secret door, and after half an hour I was in and seated at the bar. After two cocktails and a generally nice experience due to the bartender and fellow patrons, I decided to buy the bar's book. Very glad that I did, it has a lot of cocktails that are to my taste. The tips on how to set up a bar and prepare drinks are less involved than in the Death and Co book, but contain the important bits (it seems, anyway!)
My only quibble is that it's not fully indexed by ingredients (there is a decent index, just doesn't include everything). I wanted to go back and find a cocktail that called for muddled green pepper (the Lawn Dart, so good!) and had to page through it looking for something that caught my eye. ( )
