Product Description

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

  • Anecdotes and histories of favorite potables

  • 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 Bible is 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.

-- from The Bartender's Bible

Summary: Caution 2010-07-09
Comment: The book is in "loose leaf notebook form". Be sure you have all the pages. My copy was missing more than just a few.
Customer Rating: 2 Star
Summary: It's okay. 2010-03-26
Comment: I guess I am more of a picture person. There are no pictures in this book. It feels more like an encyclopedia for drinks/shots. I've had this book for more than 5 years now and I have used it a couple times. So, it was possibly worth the money spent. It seems like most of the drink recipes in this book are old fashioned. I did like the intro portion of how to set up your bar. However, I've seen better drink books.

Summary: A Must Have For Bartender's 2010-01-31
Comment: My daughter just completed a training on the basics of Bartending and recieved her certificate in it upon completion. I presented this book to her as a way for her to stay aware and informed of everything she needed to know about Bartending and beyond. She was very grateful for the resource and the way inwhich it was designed and written. She feels she will hold on to this guide for a long time and will refer to it often. I received the book in the time that was identified and in the condition that was described and both of us are more than pleased with this purchase. I would indeed recommend this product.

Summary: Great drink book 2010-01-22
Comment: I bought the book for my niece's husband who is interested in making drinks. Before he had a chance to read it, my sister, who doesn't drink, was fascinated with the non-alcoholic drink section. She like enough to want to buy it.

Summary: Comprehensive book for beginners. 2008-04-12
Comment: This edition is useful not only for its recipes, but for its information, as well. The introduction has a similar feel to the early chapters of The Joy of Cooking in that it offers instruction on the essentials for stocking a home bar as well as comprehensive lists of equipment and glassware -- complete with illustrations. The recipes are thorough in detailing method, which is much more useful than some Internet collections and other books I've seen which only list the ingredients (and sometimes measures) for a given drink. There is also a bit of fun and education to be found here. Each chapter and most of the hallmark drinks have write-ups about their history or fun anecdotes.

I felt the need to write this review after reading another for the same title in which the reviewer aired grievance about the book not including an alphabetical list of the drinks by name. That is what the index in the back of the book is for. Maybe he just never got that far. I have several books on cocktail recipes, and this one is definitely my go-to. Having only 1001 recipes, it is incomplete, but it's the most useful one on my shelf.
