“Ultimately this book is for everyone,” cocktail expert and author John deBary writes in the introduction to his recently released Drink What You Want. “But if you’ve never made a drink in your entire life and you don’t know the difference between an old-fashioned and a gin and tonic, you are my target demographic.”
Organized by mood, feeling, or situation, the recipes found in Drink What You Want are fun (!) to read and deeply informative. But just because deBary is targeting first-time cocktail-shakers doesn’t mean the book is overly simplistic. (Case in point: a large-format, "meal-prepper" martini recipe calls for one bottle of gin, one bottle of vermouth, 375 milliliters of water, and a quarter ounce of bitters—all poured into a mixing bowl and stashed in the freezer. Or, a whisky sour shaken with preserves—a one-ingredient swap that provides consistent flavor and sweetness. Think smarter, not harder.)
