Everything you need to do to get fired as a bartender.,
By Cwodack@aol.com (Haddon Heights, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers: Cocktails for the 21st Century (Paperback)
As a professional bartender, I frequently examine bartending books to find the latest recipes as well as alternative presentations to the classics. I, however, have never found a book to be so glaringly wrong in some of the most common drinks. (Gin is an ingredient in a screwdriver?) This book serves no purpose other than the author to spout name dropping stories about the celebrities he has encountered as a Hollywood bartender. The vast majority of the book are the author's original concoctions that he takes much wanton hubres in, but beware, all to often, the names of these drinks share names of popular drinks with absolutely no similarity in the ingredients. Any nubile bartender who wants a book to learn the most common drinks ordered should stay clear of Atomic Bodyslams...

Imaginative names, not very good drinks,

This review is from: Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers: Cocktails for the 21st Century (Paperback)
Bought this book based upon a recommendation in a magazine. Although it can serve as a very funny counter decoration, the drinks are not very good. We got the most fun out of this book when I invited a bunch of friends over and we just read through the drinks (and some of the recipes).

"The Most Entertaining Guide We've Ever Encountered...",
By A Customer
This review is from: Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers: Cocktails for the 21st Century (Paperback)
From the October issue of "Gallery" Magazine... Hey fella, you look beat. Drop that briefcase and sit right down onthis stool. What'll ya have? A Jumping Humper? How about a Valley of the Dolls or a Howitzer? What, you've never heard of these drinks? You will if you pick up a copy of Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers: Cocktails for the 21st Century (Surrey Books), the most entertaining mixmastering guide we've ever encountered. There are complete directions for making more than 1,000 libations, from the usual suspects to the latest non-alcoholic concoctions. There are even some surefire hangover remedies! Author Adam Rocke keeps everything upbeat and fun in this breezy yet invaluable handbook, a real key for anyone who wants to host only the finest social events! END
