The PDT Cocktail Book ~by Jim Meehan
I have so many pages marked in this book! From co-founder of one of NYC's most popular cocktail bars PDT (Please Don't Tell) in the East Village, this book shares over 300 recipes (and some pretty epic illustrations!) The recipes are organized in alphabetical order so I recommend having some sticky notes ready to easily refer back to your favorites. :)
