Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions
Alex Day, David Kaplan, and Nick Fauchald - 2018
Cocktail Codex positions the Poet's Dream as an "improved" Martini — borrowing the 19th-century concept of adding a small amount of flavorful liqueur to elevate a basic template — pulling the dry vermouth back slightly to make room for a quarter ounce of Bénédictine's herbal honeyed complexity without crowding the gin.
