"In this excellent and unique cocktail book, Muldoon and McGarry, founders of New York City's Dead Rabbit lounge (along with Vose, their bar manager), offer the establishment's complete menu--a six-part, serialized graphic novel, with an additional 100 intricate craft cocktails. The darkly drawn protagonist, known as the Rabbit, is a "hybrid man-rabbit anti-hero" with a sinewy human torso and scary bunny head. Channeling John Morrissey, the leader of the 1850s Irish gang, the Dead Rabbits, but lurking in the shadows of Hell's Kitchen, circa 1978, he drinks, gambles, and settles scores with a ruthless vengeance... [a] one-of-a-kind collection ." -- Publishers Weekly, "In this excellent and unique cocktail book, Muldoon and McGarry, founders of New York City's Dead Rabbit lounge (along with Vose, their bar manager), offer the establishment's complete menu--a six-part, serialized graphic novel, with an additional 100 intricate craft cocktails.

With Mixology & Mayhem , the team kicks open the doors to its creative process, and lets us travel deep into its award-winning comic book menus. Cocktail books have never been this fun, this daring or this outrageous. But then, this is far more than a cocktail book. Mixology & Mayhem is a Dead Rabbit cocktail book." --Hamish Smith, Deputy Editor of Drinks International , Editor of CLASS magazine "Yes, this is a book with cocktail recipes. But no way is it simply a cocktail recipe book. With its insights into the background of the bar, invaluable tips on how to create a cocktail menu and specs for some of the most popular drinks from their multi-award-winning menus, it's a must-have for every bartender. Like everything this crew turn their hands to, it's ballsy, no-nonsense--and absolutely awesome." --Sandrae Lawrence and Gary Sharpen, The Cocktail Lovers "The last decade has seen cocktail books published by some of the most talented figures in the bar world. Many of these books contain excellent recipes. But Mixology & Mayhem goes far beyond excellent recipes. As you read this book, you'll quickly see that the team spends as much time (if not more) investigating and evolving the menu concept as creating their world-class drinks. Painstaking research, ridiculous levels of hard work and extreme amounts of talent are the reason these menus and the bar itself have deservedly won so many awards. The Dead Rabbit is the most perfectly realized bar concept since Trader Vic's, and there's something valuable in this book for everyone in our industry to learn." --Nick Strangeway, Global Cocktail Authority, "In this excellent and unique cocktail book, Muldoon and McGarry, founders of New York City's Dead Rabbit lounge (along with Vose, their bar manager), offer the establishment's complete menu--a six-part, serialized graphic novel, with an additional 100 intricate craft cocktails.
