Vodka Distilled: The Modern Mixologist on Vodka and Vodka Cocktails – Tony Abou-Ganim, 2013 First Printing

A deep dive into one of the world's most familiar (and often least understood) spirits, *Vodka Distilled* approaches vodka with the rigor of a serious cocktail professional.

Written by acclaimed mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim with Mary Elizabeth Faulkner, the book explores 58 vodkas, examining how raw ingredients, geography, distillation and filtration influence what ends up in the glass. Abou-Ganim also includes 28 vodka cocktail recipes designed to highlight the differences among the spirits rather than disguise them.

Abou-Ganim has been mixing cocktails professionally since 1980, with a career that has included Harry Denton's legendary Starlight Room in San Francisco, Po in New York and the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The book includes a foreword by celebrated bartender Dale DeGroff and photography by two-time James Beard Award-winning photographer Tim Turner.

A handsome and genuinely useful addition to a home bar library, particularly for the host keenly aware of the only-growing martini trend or just the curious.
