We have used this convenient bartender's guide at many parties and it has never failed to please the pickiest of guests. Its size is a big plus because it is easy to hang next to the measuring spoons and you won't loose it. It also makes a good gift for birthdays or as a stocking stuffer.

This review is from: The BarKeeper Pocket Peeker (Ring-bound)

This is very simple with easy-to-follow drink recipes. I didn't give it the full 5 stars only because there were some common drinks not listed. Otherwise, it is a fantastic little cheat sheet to keep behind the bar!

4.0 out of 5 stars it serves it purpose, October 9, 2005

This review is from: The BarKeeper Pocket Peeker (Ring-bound)

this booklet is actually 9 laminated index cards held together by a keychain ring. it also has a small bottle opener. i have not used it much yet, but it seems simple enough.

it's arranged in ABC order and provides the following info for each drink:
type of glass used, ingredients, method of pouring (shaken, blend, over ice, etc.), and garnish used.

it definitely serves as a quick reference, but not much more than that. i recommend it if this is all you need it for.
