The Dead Rabbit Drinks Manual

The award-winning volume of cocktail recipes and stories from the legendary bar—and the two friends from Belfast who made mixology history.

Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog in Lower Manhattan has dominated the bar industry, receiving award after award including World's Best Bar, World's Best Cocktail Menu, World's Best Drink Selection, and Best American Cocktail Bar. Now, the beloved bar reveals its secrets in The Dead Rabbit Drinks Manual.

Like the bar's décor, Dead Rabbit's award-winning drinks are a nod to the "Gangs of New York" era. They range from fizzes to cobblers to toddies, each with its own historical inspiration. There are also recipes for communal punches and an entire chapter on absinthe.


Along with their inventive recipes, founder Sean Muldoon and bar manager Jack McGarry tell their inspiring rags-to-riches story that began in Ireland and brought them to the top of the cocktail world. Beautifully illustrated with recipe photos and images from the bar itself, this acclaimed cocktail manual offers an in-depth look into the classic world of Dead Rabbit.
