title: A Spot at the Bar: Welcome to the Everleigh: The Art of Good Drinking in Three Hundred Recipes
author: Michael Madrusan
description: "The book's greatest strength is its accessibility-300-bottle backbar not required.forgoing the formulaic structure of many cocktail books today: drink beauty shot, cocktail headnote, cocktail recipe. Instead, each hero drink is illustrated with its specs written on an old business card, coaster or matchbook from a notable bar, and is then followed by an illustration and a page full of recipes inspired by that drink. It's unexpected, and it works-drawing important connections between classics and their modern counterparts." -PUNCH magazine
