The Ultimate Bar Book: The Comprehensive Guide to Over 1,000 Cocktails

Customer Reviews:

Written especially for beginners and teaches the basics and techniques of the mixed drink, assuming no prior knowledge

By Midwest Book Review - May 25, 2006

If it's only one big book you want covering all the cocktail recipes, leaving the glitz of color photos for the depth of practical coverage, make it ULTIMATE BAR BOOK: THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO OVER 1,000 COCKTAILS. Here are all the classics plus new cocktails such as Bali Highball. Here also are recommendations for home bars, coverage of utensils and mixers, sections on non-alcoholic drinks, and tips for entertaining with cocktails. Novices shouldn't be put off by the volume, either: it's written especially for beginners and teaches the basics and techniques of the mixed drink, assuming no prior knowledge.

Expansive Mixology Guide

By NDB - April 14, 2007

The Ultimate Bar Book, at 450 pages, is as comprehensive as you are likely ever to need. It provides recipes to the classics and all of their variants, newly fashionable drinks, and provides rational commentary on the ingredients--whether to use the pricey ones or not, and what equivalents you might use. It even provides a guide to the barware for each drink.

The book is well constructed and attractive. Its enjoyable just to thumb through it, and to see what is in so many drinks. The mixing trends come out after a brief review of the many drinks--you can easily expand your cocktail repertoire without the fuss of mixing and failing several times.

I recommend the book as a basic bar staple. If you enjoy the art of "mixology," this is a fun sourcebook.

Every person, bar and country should own one.

By Jean A. Ufford "book haven" - May 31, 2006

This book surpasses any other book on drinks. It runs the gamut of drinks from alcohol to non-alcoholic. There's a section in the back for punches, and to boot, a section for hangover remedies. I'm sixty years old and this is the best bar book I've every ecountered.
