An Interview With Philip Ward
Ward is the head bartender at Death & Co. in New York City.
Anyone can mix a vodka tonic, but a great cocktail is like a fine meal--you need a recipe, the proper tools, and the freshest ingredients. With all that on hand, you'll dazzle your friends when they stop by for drinks.
"Anyone can mix a vodka tonic. A great cocktail is like a fine meal."
Read a good book. A cocktail recipe book can quickly teach you how to make a wide variety of drinks, so you don't have to rely on serving rum and Cokes. I like The Craft of the Cocktail by Dale Degroff (Clarkson Potter) and The Joy of Mixology by Gary Regan (Clarkson Potter).
