Based on an in-house manual conceived and curated by Australian bar proprietor and cocktail oracle Michael Madrusan for teams at his world-renowned Melbourne bars (and to satisfy his own obsessive interest in the subject), it includes more than 3,000 tried-and-tested cocktails. Michael believes he has collected every possible classic cocktail manual published to date, plucked the best drinks from each, and updated the recipes for today's palates with input from leading bartenders around the world. Gone are the mediocre, irrelevant cocktails, replaced by the perfectly balanced new(er) comers on the international drinks scene so that readers can be confident every drink in this book has a place in modern cocktail culture.

The book includes the origin and story behind the key cocktails, imperial and metric measurements, and stunning photography in a spectacular hardback package – complete with ribbon.
