Mix Drinks Like A Pro
Now you can with this indispensable handbook, the most thorough'and thoroughly accessible'bartending guide ever created for both professional and home use. Encyclopedic in scope and filled with clear, simple instructions, The Bartender's Bible includes information on:
- Stocking and equipping a bar'from liquors and mixers to condiments, garnishes, and equipment
- Shot-by-shot recipes for over 1,000 cocktails and mixed drinks from bourbon to rum to whiskey
- Wine drinks
- Beer drinks
- Nonalcoholic drinks
- Special category drinks'tropical, classics, aperitifs, cordials, hot drinks, and party punches

- And more!
If you've ever wondered whether to shake or stir a proper Martini, or what to do with those dusty bottles of flavored liqueurs,The Bartender's Bibleis the only book you need!
A bartender, as a rule, is a person who enjoys the company of others, endeavors to solve problems, listens to the woes of the world, sympathizes with the mistreated, laughs with the comedians, cheers up the down at heart, and generally controls the atmosphere at his or her bar. A bartender is the manager of moods, the master of mixology.
Certain scenarios are played out over and over again in bars everywhere. The questions are basically the same; only the details vary: What's in a true Singapore Sling? How long has the Martini been around? What's the difference between a Fix and a Fizz? A reference book is as necessary to a bartender as ice.

Don't bother,

This review is from: Bartender's Bible (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason this book gets two stars from me is out of mercy.This is a horrible book that IS basically useless for the sole reason that the Index is sophomorically organized at best. The book is organized alphabetically by main alcoholic ingredient. This method is unwieldy for a professional bartender and only moderately acceptable for a novice home bar. The Index _sort of_ tries to offer an alternative by listing _some_ drinks by name. However, it also attempts to index by ingredient as well. This would be fine, except the job is incomplete. For example, if you look up a drink in the index by name, you may not always be able to find it also by main ingredient, and vice versa. I won't return or toss this book since I've already purchased it and it might be useful somehow, if only as a second-hand gift to a friend. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are considering purchasing a bartender's guide with any eye towards being able to actually use it, to look at "The Bartender's Black Book: The Drink Recipe Collection for the 21st Century" by Stephen Kittredge Cunningham.

The only one,
By Casper Paludan (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bartender's Bible (Mass Market Paperback)
It is not really needed but I will chime in and say it is the first drinks book I got, and the only one of the many I now have that I use. The others are OK for specialty applications but the sheer number of drinks in this one makes it an amazing experience. stellar are the introductions to each base ingredient section; how is gin made; is whiskey and whisky the same thing? Etc etc. A great buy!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference, good buy!,
By Ryan M. (MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bartender's Bible (Spiral-bound)
Although at first I was a little disappointed with the manner in which the recipes are arranged, once I figured out how to find what I wanted I quickly realized that this is an excellent volume. Someone will always complain about a recipe that is either not included or is different than the one that they know. I feel, however, that any bartender worth his salt would have read more than one book on bartending anyway. I did also like how this book included a guide on how to set up a bar. Overall, a great buy!
