Five of Boston's ascendent bartenders shook, stirred, muddled, ignited, danced, and sang their cocktails.

It's official: the Boston food industry crowd is in love with Craigie on Main, the newly expanded venture of Cambridge chef Tony Maws (formerly of Craigie Street Bistro). On a recent visit to the new space, this Bostonist spotted employees from Green Street, Eastern Standard, Dante and Drink bellying up to the bar. Here, wunderkind Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli, recently of Eastern Standard himself, was mixing up rye cocktails and housemade vermouths to rival any served at these other temples of mixology.
This Bostonist owns many a compact, black and white volume of cocktail recipes, with small type and bare diagrams. Mixologist, booze consultant, and Museum of the American Cocktail founder Dale DeGroff's new book is, by contrast, a large, typographically lush (and generally lush) book of cocktail recipes with near-pornographic photography of perfect drinks, shivering in their garnishes. The Essential Cocktail is lovely, and, if we learned anything from its launch party at Drink on Monday night, you should take its commands seriously, including its injunction to flame those orange peels.
