Bar Chef: Handcrafted Cocktails

An inviting handbook for cocktails rooted in classics and updated with a farm-to-glass ethos, from "one of LA's most innovative mixologists" (Forbes).

Celebrated Los Angeles bartender Christiaan Röllich approaches a drink the way a master chef approaches a dish: he draws on high-quality seasonal ingredients to create cocktails for every occasion. In Bar Chef, Rollich shares 100 original recipes for drinks that that are as beautiful as they are delicious, including the Quixote (gin with grapefruit); a Kentucky Sour (bourbon with homemade cola syrup); Eggnog for the holidays; and Rollich's signature drink, the Green Goddess (green tea vodka with cucumber, arugula, jalapeno, and absinthe), which has become a part of the language of LA.

Including easy-to-follow recipes for syrups, tinctures, liqueurs, and bitters with herbs, spices, and seasonal fruit, Rollich guides you through his creative process, demystifying the craft of cocktail-making. With stunning color photography and the suave storytelling of your favorite bartender, Bar Chef will become a go-to bar book for home cooks and cocktail enthusiasts, inspiring and pleasing readers with every drink.
