Tony Conigliaro's The Cocktail Lab: Unraveling the Mysteries of Flavor and Aroma in Drink is now available! I've been anticipating this book for months. If you're into this kind of thing, I also recommend Kevin Liu's Craft Cocktails at Home: Offbeat Techniques, Contemporary Crowd-Pleasers, and Classics Hacked with Science. While less exhaustive, still quite a good read. I was literally getting ready to leave to house to go pick up The Cocktail Lab at my local bookstore when I came across the NY Times article, and now I'm even more excited!
I have tried it myself but went with the recipe out of The Cocktail Lab which uses almond milk instead of almonds. Since I can't get green almonds in the US - which is what orgeat traditionally is made from - I feel like taking that shortcut isn't too big a deal.
First time it had too much cereal milk flavor which I attributed to the orange flower water. Second time I let it reduce too much and ended up with almond putty. Haven't mustered the strength for another go.
I know Cask in San Francisco sells BG Reynolds. I'll hafta see if the one over in the East Bay does too.
Check out The Cocktail Lab. It’s got tons of ideas. Highly recommend the Teagroni. It sounds like you’ve got just about everything save the vermouth.
