A must for anyone going off to school. It lists all the tools and teckniques for starting youre own bar. Loaded with lots of bartending tips for beginers and every drink you could every have a craving for. The book has lots of sections with catagorise of drinks (as well as an easy index). This is a great feature for a party. Just look up Scotch or something and it has all the drinks you could want that have it in them. As well as some helpfull hangover tips at the end of the book. A listing of hundreds of micro brews (and how to find them). A nice intoduction to the wonderfull world of wine. To top it all off its the book of choice for my local bartender who has been servin em up for years.

We have a lot of fun trying new drinks in this book. It has a handy index in the back if you want to find drinks with a certain ingredient (orange juice, tequila, etc.), which we use all the time. Cheers!

The reason I give this book three stars is this: It lists drinks under the types of alcohol in them, and it lists the types of alcohol as these - Vodka, Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon, Tequila, Brandy, and Rum. Scotch and Bourbon are both Whiskeys. And where's the Gin? Cute little book, though, pleasantly written and colorful.

I did find lots of useful information and backgroud history on the liqueurs and drinks discussed in the book.Whick is great for beginners.What I didn't like about this book was the drink recipes where not put in alphabetical order.So if you where looking to make an Alabama Slammer you would have to know to go to the Bourbon section of this book.If you are working behind the bar you dont have time to waste looking through the table of content.I hear that Mr.Bostons Bartending guide is good.

A must buy for any high school grad..
