 Compact drinks book May 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a very good drinks book with lot of drinks, and listed by types of drinks eg if you got a bottle of vodka you can fine about 50 drinks that can be made from that single bottle with the exception of a few other ingredients that have to be bought. The only down side there isn't any pictures to see how the drinks should look.
 I bartend and use this at work and at home... February 19, 2008

This is the all you could ever want and need bartending book. I use the previous edition at work and like the previous edition this one is just as great. It's the black book of black books and i love having it at home.
I believe the only thing they added to this book was updating some of the intro - "how to keep customers happy" "how to get good tips" "who you should be tipping out" and such things...just basic things you need to know behind the bar. They also added more drink recipes. Which is awesome, people are always comming up with new drinks and now it has everything from the previous edition plus 100's of more drinks.
I use THIS newer edition for at home. It does have every drink you could want to make from a simple martini, to margaritta, to some drink i made once that involved an egg white.
The basic layout of the book is:
Intro and a bit about bartending
Drink recipes in order by name: ABC's people
Information about Wine
Pour Amounts
Bartending Lingo i.e. "Sloshed" "Hammered"
Bartending Terms i.e. "Perfect" "Pint Glass" "Neat" "Jigger"
And my favorite the back! Where you can look up drinks by ingredient: Rum, Flavored Vodka, Liquers, and basically everything else.
It's just an all around great book to have on hand and if you give it a chances you'll find you refer back to it often. At work or at home. I RARELY need to use another book when i'm behind the bar. And it's the only book at home.
I highly suggest getting this book if you're ANYONE. New to bartending, or a bartending pro. Stay at home mom, or a drunken fool. It's easy for anyone to use.
 Very Useful Book Written by Very Conceited Author January 15, 2008
3 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book is great for quickly learning the drinks that everyone orders and the drinks almost no one would ever order (anyone for a schoolbus - beer, milk & OJ?) written by an egotistical and excessively chauvinistic fop. Note to S.K.C. - leave out the bragadoccio, rampant (hetero)sexism, demoded chivalry and other such ridiculously trivial commentary and you'll have a great book.
Great gift for the holidays. December 17, 2007
This is a great gift for nearly anyone who's a bartender or who likes to have a good time. I got this for a friend of mine, and I'm sure she will like it.
The book not only has alcoholic recipes, but also frozen, hot drinks, and more. It also has an index in the back that has drinks by ingredients.
Should have gotten this for myself instead!
Near Perfection December 12, 2007
The best book I've ever seen for the widest variety of drinks. Missing a couple more popular North American drinks such as a vodka 7 or a bottlecap, but still more drink names then you will ever need. Simple and easy to find what you are looking for, the cleverly written book is a staple for any aspiring bartender.
