5.0 out of 5 stars
the perfect companion to a recipe book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Mixing Drinks (Paperback)
"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Mixing Drinks" is a wonderful book, filled with anecdotes, tips, and histories of spirits. It takes a basic, straightfoward approach to bartending that is easy to understand and use. The book is very thorough, and is best used in conjunction with a simple recipe book. It is NOT simply a book of recipes, however. I find it to be far superior to similar books (i.e. "Bartending for Dummies.")

5.0 out of 5 stars
Ignore the idiot,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Idiot's Guide to Mixing Drinks, 2E (The Complete Idiot's Guide) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book, despite the illiterate review below. I've never looked for a drink at home to make that I couldn't find in this book -- and the other drink/recipe "bibles" leave out the interesting information on the various spirits and histories. It's a staple on my cookbook shelves where more than a few "idiot's" or "dummies" book sit next to the French Laundry Cookbook.
