5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest Bartener's guide to use for work or at home, February 22, 2006
By 
This is my second copy of Robert's Bartenders Guide. My original copy of Revision 1 was used while I was a bartender 8 years ago and

helped me out of a few embarassing situations. It shows you the glass by name and picture, how you prepare the drink and the garnish options.

This copy has more drinks then I could ever get a chance to try, and will make a great addition to my home bar.

This review is from: The Bartender's Companion: The Original Guide to American Cocktails and Drinks (4th ed.) (Paperback)
This is a great book for those getting started in mixing drinks, or for the more advanced. Procedures for making the drinks are nicely spelled out, as well as information on glassware and tools, etc. Alternate recipes are shown for several drinks, showing that there is not just ONE WAY to make certain drinks. This lack of arrogance shows through in a number of ways, including in the sidebars on the pages that highlight particular spirits. Lots of interesting background there. I especially enjoyed the features on the Dekuyper's cordials. They may offend the snobs, but they're fun! Another great feature is an index by ingredient. You get a new bottle of something and can look it up to see what new drinks you can make with what you have on hand. In general, this book is fun and informative and is a must-have for any drink mixer.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have reference for everyone who mixes drinks, May 30, 2008
This book is an extremely valuable resource providing detailed recipes on an extensive number of drinks. Providing multiple versions on many of the more popular recipes is a nice bonus. The product information included by the author is interesting and the straightforward drink preparation instructions are also very valuable and helpful.
