A bewitching collection of boundary-pushing cocktails that intertwine art, science, and mixology. From Frankie Solarik-the visionary behind New York and Toronto's critically acclaimed BarChef bars, and judge on Netflix's Drink Masters-comes a book to challenge any preconceived notions of what a cocktail can be. Dubbed a "legendary Toronto experimentalist" by The New York Times, Frankie is revered around the world for his modernist cocktails. His famed cocktails are all-encompassing culinary experiences that combine top-of-the-line spirits, molecular gastronomy, and edible components. With Modernist Cocktails, professional and home mixologists alike can try their hand at his multisensory creations. Inside these pages you'll find:

• Masterpiece cocktails: Assembled by season, Frankie's landmark recipes translate nature's narratives into spectacular drinks served within evocative set pieces-taking inspiration from winter's thaw into spring, a summer sunset's glow, or the colorful turning of autumn's leaves.
• Inspired sips: For every modernist cocktail recipe, there are three additional simple sip recipes drawing inspiration from similar ingredients but with a much simpler presentation-these are quick-assembly drinks to return to night after night.
• Leading-edge techniques: Learn molecular methods like spherification, cryogenics, how to craft flavored airs and foams, and more.
• Home-crafted essentials: Elevate your bar with homemade bitters, infusions, and syrups-must-haves when building cocktails of all levels.

Frankie Solarik is the owner of the popular cocktail bar BarChef in Toronto (which Food & Wine magazine named among the "top new and innovative bars in the world"), author of the bestselling cocktail book The Bar Chef: A Modern Approach to Cocktails, and a judge on Netflix's popular Drink Masters. He is a pioneer of the experiential, progressive, and contemporary approach to cocktails internationally.
