You (or Someone You Know) Needs This Book, Dec 24 2007
By V. Kalambakal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Professional Bartender's Handbook: A Recipe for Every Drink Known: Including Tricks and Games to Impress Your Guests (Paperback)
The Professional Bartender's Handbook is an easy-to-use book for anyone. If you're stocking your own bar there are lists of what and how much to buy (including alcohol, mixers, and extras), what tools to have on hand (types of glasses, spoons, strainers--who knew?). There's even a chapter on really starting a bar--from business plan through OSHA regs and promotions.As for recipes, the book has 1500 of them, from A Bat and a Ball to Zuma Buma, with a separate section for non-alcoholic drinks. Over 200 pages filled with recipes! None are indexed, only alphabetized, so if you're looking for various martinis--from apple to vodka, you could be skimming pages for awhile.
The book starts with the basics about liquor, like the difference between Haitian and Jamaican rum, how wines should be served, etc., There's even a chapter on drinking games and toasts--what more could you want? Everything you need to be a fantastic bartender is right here.

This review is from: The Professional Bartender's Handbook: A Recipe for Every Drink Known: Including Tricks and Games to Impress Your Guests (Paperback)
I was completely new to everything thats bartending when i got this book and this book has provided a strong base in knowledge of bartending. I think this is a better option for novice bartenders and may not be as useful for the more experienced bartender, but may still help as a reference.

First of all, this is my FIRST try to write a review on amazon. I wish there were someone who had left review like this so that i didnt have to buy this book. The book is far from helpful in getting proper drink recipes. The only part that I enjoyed reading was the first 10-15pages where it talks about the introduction and origin of liquor, which also can be easily found on google. The 1500 recipes are listed in a number of pages(2 third of the the entire book) with all the similar directions for most of the drinks such as "Shake well with ice, strain into a cocktail glass." Who would not shake well and serve in a pint glass? That's not what I, who have been bartending for years and was looking for some cute ideas of making unique and fun drinks, was looking for. It would've been so much better if there were some pictures of the drinks --maybe not all but at least some that are strongly recommended-- and better directions like when/by whom this drink is usually requested or what flavor/taste makes the drink so special. Nothing that catches my eyes in this book. I regret that I wrote the date that i bought the book on the top edge of the book, which what i always do when buying a book, because this is the only reason that I still have this book without returning it.
