Essential Cocktail Deck

The Essential Cocktail Deck from Clarkson Potter keeps a home bar's worth of drinks on a stack of cards, from classics like the Whiskey Sour and the Mint Julep to newer drinks like the Angostura Colada and the Kentucky Buck. Each card has a photo of the finished drink on the front, so you know what you're aiming for, and step-by-step instructions on the back. A basics card covers shaking, stirring, straining and swizzling, and the cards are laminated, so a splash of bitters wipes right off. Leave it next to the bar cart for guests to flip through, or pair it with a bottle and a shaker for a hostess gift that gets used.
