Jason Kosmas

Dushan Zaric

A drinks cookbook from the mixologist owners of Employees Only, a speakeasy-themed bar/restaurant in New York, with 90 recipes for cocktails inspired by classic potent potables. The Prohibition Era and the Roaring Twenties evoke a time of glamour and intrigue, when speakeasies served alcohol illegally. Mixed drinks like the sidecar were born of the era; however, they were usually made with ingredients of dubious quality. InSpeakeasy, authors Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric find inspiration in such time-honored classics, then use the finest spirits, freshest flavorings, and a good measure of reverence for their craft to elevate cocktails to artisanal status. For example, the Mata Hari, one of their signature cocktails, marries chai-infused vermouth with Cognac and pomegranate juice. Their modern takes on classic drinks will makeSpeakeasya favorite with trendy imbibers and cocktail traditionalists alike.

Two Bartenders Serve Women the Truth About Men, Making an Impression, and Getting What You Want

You Didn't Hear It From Us

Ever wonder how the great flirts do it? How they manage to attract a man's attention, even in the distracting setting of a crowded bar? And then, once they've got it, how they keep him focused? The people standing behind the bar watch this game play out night after night. Now, two of the best in the business, Dushan Zaric and Jason Kosmas, are ready to spill all the secrets of the hookup game. In this groundbreaking book, they tell women everything they need to know to pick up men (the right men). A good bartender doesn't just know how to mix drinks -- he knows how to read people, too. Dushan and Jason have witnessed every kind of hookup (and screwup) you can imagine. They know who is going to send over a drink before he even thinks of it. They can tell if a man's a bully, a loser, or gay as soon as he walks in the door. Most of all, they know what women have to do to make guys want to get their number. Drawing on their own observations as well as surveys of their patrons, Dushan and Jason show women what men are really thinking and how to use that information to their advantage. They provide step-by-step advice on everything from how to approach a guy to how to tell if he's worth it, and how to make an exit if he's not. Filled with street smarts, bar lore, and, of course, delicious cocktail recipes, You Didn't Hear It from Us is ultimately about more than dating -- it's about learning how to present the best parts of yourself, thus making the world your martini glass.
