The folks behind the world-renowned, award-winning Irish pub, Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, know a thing or two about whiskey, and about making great whiskey cocktails. To start, you need to understand the flavors of Irish whiskey, which means starting at the very beginning—at the distillery. With an illustrated guide of the stages of production and the differences between Irish whiskey, Scotch, the Americans (rye, bourbon), Canadian, and Japanese whiskey, become an expert on the life of the liquor before getting into the Dead Rabbit's ever-creative, innovative cocktail recipes, including stirred drinks, citrusy drinks, syrups, and tinctures and infusions. With a foreword by the authority on cocktails, David Wondrich, Paddy Drinks is as serious about its whiskey as it is a celebration.
