Christine and I would like to thank all of the mixologists and chefs from around the world who contributed cocktails and bar snacks to this book. I’d also like to thank Yukari Sakamoto for answering my questions about shochu (http://tokyostation-yukari.blogspot.com/). I am indebted to Gary Regan for teaching me the basics of making a good drink, to my friend Todd for accompanying me on our cocktail “workshops” at Milk and Honey in NYC, and to Mike for putting up with sticky counters during endless testing rounds.
