Great Behind the Bar Resource,
By
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Bartending, 2nd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
For anyone who loves to entertain at home, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Bartending is sure to become a well-worn resource stocked behind the bar. Liquor lingo is extensively explained in the first section and there are plenty of easy to concoct cocktail recipes, from the sublime (Bourbon Manhattan) to the ridiculous (Stuffy in a Suit).
This guidebook will equally serve the novice as well as the more experienced who want to improve their current bartending skills. As holiday party season approaches, this is the perfect book to find in your Christmas stocking.

Bartending Made Simple,
By
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Bartending (Paperback)
OK, I happen to be a relative, but that has nothing to do with my review of this book. Well, maybe a little, but the fact is, I'm no bartender. I don't have the know-how to mix drinks properly and I found this book REALLY easy to use. The arrangement by types of liquor make this guide truly idiot proof (no pun intended!).
It's a great bar companion especially when my more liquor adventurous guests are around and they want a drink even they don't know how to make. Kudos to Amy for creating such a simple yet so useful guide!
