he does, offering unprecedented access to a top bartender’s creative
process. Organized by spirit base, the recipes contain detailed

Gild’s breathtaking, full-color photos. Thoughtful contributions
from more than 50 colleagues around the world who’ve greatly
contributed to global cocktail culture further contextualize
Meehan’s philosophy. Timeless black-and-white portraits of these
industry experts round out this comprehensive tome.
