Product Information

Old Fashioned was our final choice, making a small dent in the weird surplus of bourbon we have in the house. Includes 200 recipes with age-old classics such as the daiquiri, dry martini, margarita and Long Island ice tea. Here are 200 recipes from the rich flavour of an ABC Cocktail, through to the complicated but delicious sweet and spice mix of a Zombie. Items which are made of natural materials such as wood, leather or marble may also vary in colour and pattern.

Beyond its new books, Pyramid is known for its titles drawn from the extensive Octopus archive and its custom publishing expertise. There's also a selection of fantastic insider tips, a full glossary of terms and step-by-step guides to mastering different techniques. If you want to know more about the transformative effect of using bitters, egg whites/foamers, or the impact of different shapes, sizes and consistencies of ice, muddling or shaking, or whether, as Olly says, a drink is quenching or comforting (the Index doesn’t even list Sours), look elsewhere. You really do wonder whether Olly wrote a more comprehensive, true Bible of a book which then got whittled down to this end product. Whether you’re planning a lavish party or just indulging in a nightcap, The Classic Cocktail Bible gives you a range of inspirations to create the exotic and the timeless.We are delighted to share these three recipes from the book, with permission from publisher Quadrille. He bartended at Hawskmoor for 3 years and was a member of the opening bar team at The Box, Scotch of St James and Ceremony.

Olly’s chatty style and evocative introductions do lead you to think of trying the Hurricane (which explains cleverly what two differently aged rums will bring to the drink), or his own invention, the Disco Dancing Mermaid, an azure party-starter based on Blue Curaçao. The hazelnut liqueur added a depth and richness to the cocktail that fused seamlessly with the lemon and ginger beer used to top up the drink.
