AMAZING
Derived From Web , Feb 9, 2022
This book is amazing. If it isn't in the book, you probably don't need it. The basic set up of a family bar or a small bar is handled by it. It gives recipes and glassware advice. Being a recent graduate of a professional Bar Tender's Course, I found it to be useful for beginners and experts. If I lost this one, I would buy it again. Anyone interested in the field of mixology should have one in their library.

Great little book!
Derived From Web , Feb 9, 2022
There are a lot of details in this book. The recipes are detailed and tell you step by step, and each recipe has a picture of the type of glass you are going to need, and what type ofGarnish to use. The book will be useful. I haven't tried creating drinks yet, but I'm excited to start! Shipping was fast.

Totally USELESS
Derived From Web , Aug 4, 2020
The information in this book isn't organized in a way that makes it easy to find. If you are looking for a category of drinks, there are no tabs or side color indexes that will help you find it quicker. It does not have many popular drinks, which makes me think it needs to be updated. The worst aspect of it is that it uses a very small font which makes it hard to read. I have perfect vision for distance and close- up, yet I found myself straining to read it, so I can imagine how others feel. This book is a good one to skip.

Too Much Information in Print Too Small to Read
Derived From Web , May 20, 2019
The book seemed like a good fit. When I received it, I noticed that it contained too much information and the printing was small. I figured out how bad the printing was after reading other reviews. The reviews were correct, guess what? I don't wear glasses to read, but I had a hard time reading the contents of this book.

Great Read for Beginner Bartender Professional or Home Use
Derived From Web , Nov 5, 2018
A few years ago, I received a book as a gift. This book is not just a compendium of recipes. The histories of many famous cocktails, where they come from, and why the names are the way they are are included in it. There is information about the importance of ice, why certain drinks should go in certain glasses, and more. I am not a professional bartender, but I do like a good drink and this book has helped my home creations tremendously. It has hundreds of pages with excellent cocktail recipes so when your friend comes to your party and asks for the most exotic drink, you' ll be ready.

Best Book Ever
Derived From Web , Apr 29, 2018
An at- home bar tending guru I date. At a party or dinner, this man is phenomenal. I saw a book at a friend's house. I wiped it off because it looked interesting and I found the holy grail. I didn't need to use the internet once for a delicious drink. It's impossible to not find something you want, it's so extensive and organized. I'm ashamed to say that this is my most read book, but it's so helpful that I'm proud of it.

I'm satisfied it will be a good resource
Derived From Web , Feb 15, 2018
I haven't looked at the book yet, but after reading a few of the recipes, it seems to be a very well constructed and concise guide. Information about the drinks' origin history is included in the recipes. I think it will be a good resource. I was disappointed with one thing. The desire to learn how to make a good brandy made me buy the book. There's no recipe for that. The Brandy version is from the upper mid- west. I will have to go to the back alley to find what I need.

Have a Proper Bar
Derived From Web , Sep 28, 2017
The book is a great addition to the home bar. The book is large enough to be tucked out of the way, but still long enough to be useful. Its hard cover looks good. You won't run out of cocktail recipes here. There's a lot of information about the basic tools and drinksmixers, as well as what you may want for a large home wet bar. The history of the cocktails and various types of alcohol is provided in the book.
