The Cocktail Lab

Written by Lee King

From the number one bartender in the U.K., who is also one of the leading authorities on the latest trend of “modernist mixology” comes The Cocktail Lab ($20), an awesome collection of 60 new and revolutionary cocktails. They all come from well known classics but by utilizing the very latest techniques and technologies from the molecular gastronomy movement they are taken to a whole new level. A great cocktail is way more than just a drink. It is the perfect combination of color, scent, taste and sound. Tony Conigliaro combines his many eclectic influences to give us a cocktail book like we have never seen, or tasted, before.
