Every shelf in the cabin
The cupboard, shelf by shelf: what each one is for, and the drinks filed on it. Any drink that uses something on a shelf is on that shelf's page, so the same cocktail can be reached from the gin, the vermouth and the orange it is made of.
Every drink here that starts with a bottle of something - which, in this book, is most of them. The bases they are built on, each a page of its own, are below.
82 cocktailsTriple sec, amaretto, crème de mure, Chartreuse: where much of the fruit and the sweetness in a drink comes from.
47 cocktailsVermouth, sherry, port and Lillet - the lower-strength bottles a Martini, a Bamboo or an Americano is built on.
18 cocktailsSoda, tonic, ginger beer, cola and lemonade: the long, cold, fizzy half of a highball.
43 cocktailsLemon, lime, orange, pineapple, tomato and cranberry - the acidity and the body of most drinks here.
80 cocktailsSimple, honey, agave, grenadine and orgeat: sweetness you can measure rather than pour.
49 cocktailsA dash of Angostura or Peychaud's, which is often the difference between a drink that works and one that is merely strong.
18 cocktailsThe fruit that goes into the glass rather than the juice squeezed out of it: wheels, wedges, berries, cucumber.
40 cocktailsMint, basil, rosemary, thyme and ginger - what makes a drink smell like something before you taste it.
7 cocktailsCream, milk, coconut cream and egg white: the silky, foamy, dessert end of the catalogue.
14 cocktailsSalt, sugar, pepper, nutmeg, ice and coffee - what the cupboard lends to a drink rather than what it is built from.
27 cocktailsThe twist, the wheel, the cherry and the mint sprig: small things that finish a drink and are the first thing noticed.
79 cocktailsLooking for a particular bottle instead? Every shelf page names the bottles filed on it - liqueurs lists its liqueurs - and each of those is a page of its own with the drinks made with it. To filter the whole catalogue by anything else, style and strength included, that is the listing.
