Love This Book Very informative. Well put together. LIke the fact that you also have drinks listed by name so you can find them if you have no idea what's in them. Also like the fact that they use sweet and sour in drink recipes instead of things bars don't really carry.
Wrappings The book is in a good condition, although it was folded in a few of its corners. A bit of an annoyance to me. If it was wrapped properly, this would'nt happen. I suggest that, the book being a soft cover, be properly wrapped before shipment. Other than that, I have no complaints, the item is what I expected only the service of packaging is a bit of disappointment, but all and all Im satisfied say 65%.
Well, the title doesn't lie. If you're a home bartender, this is the book for you! It has has everything for people who want to impress friends or just enjoy the craft of mixology. Has a large recipe section.
I am a bartender and it was recommended to me from a friend and I am dissapointed. Having been a bartender for a while, I already knew most of the information included in this book and actually disagreed with a thing or two. But, like all things in life, take it for what it is. If you are a home bartender or a commercial one starting out this is for you! Carefully explains everything from different types of glassware to different types f liquor and mixes. LEARN WHAT SOUR MIX REALLY IS! It will help you greatly. For experienced bartenders, I would recommend instead the Joy of Mixology (attacks the subject from a history-evolution standpoint) and the Bartender's Black book (great recipe book) instead.
Underwhelmed My first experience of the For Dummies books was Chess For Dummies and Wine For Dummies. Bartending For Dummies does not measure up. This book has decreased my faith in the For Dummies brand.
very complete! This book has a ton of recipes. Most interestingly, though, it has history and information on how various alcohol products (e.g., brandy, whisky, vodka, gin, etc.) are made. You can read the book for pleasure!
