One Week of Classier Homemade Cocktails with Jeffrey Morgenthaler

All week, Jeffrey Morgenthaler has been sharing cocktail techniques and recipes from The Bar Book -- today, we're rounding them all up and giving away one last copy of the book.

This week, Clyde Common's Jeffrey Morgenthaler inspired us to step away from the bar and turn our kitchens into the coolest new cocktail spot in town: He revolutionized our gin and tonics. He dispelled our fears of egg whites. And of course, he made good use of all our overgrown mint in a fresh take on the mojito. Now, our biggest problem is picking which of these drinks we're going to make tonight.

All About Citrus + A Classic Daiquiri

How To Make Quinine Syrup from Scratch for a Better Gin and Tonic

5 Variations on a Spritz

All About Dry Shaking + A White Lady

How To Blanch Herbs for Syrups + A Mojito

We're giving away a copy of The Bar Book every day this week! To enter to win today's copy, tell us in the comments: What drink will you be shaking up this weekend? We'll pick five winners at random next Monday, July 21!
