5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource, August 29, 2000

I found this giant little bar tenders guide an easy to navigate book and a must have for bartenders and consumers alike. I have spent years looking high and low for a quick and concise bartenders tool which addresses the high demand and trendy cocktails and now I can say that it has been written. And well written too. The coauthors are no doubt very knowledgeable about their craft. They have written a fun and important cocktail book. The construction and page coating will no doubt make it a standard in the industry for many years. I strongly recommend that every bar in the english speaking world have a copy on hand for employees to reference and several additional copies for customers to order from and purchase to take home! I have enjoyed over thirty years on both sides of the counter. I know that the customer could use this important book as a menu of sorts and by the same token the house could standardize their drinks and presentation by deferring to "Keep it Simple Baby: Guide to Mixology". I look forward to the next book by Misters Jonsson and Waddell or even a television show on the same topic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Drinks Yet., August 23, 2000

Got turned on to this book after receiving a "Transfusion" (see shot section) at a private club in the west end. I then had the privilege to sample a "Chuckie",- delicious- and an "Irish Fog" (or was it a Snow Cap?) I nearly bribed the bartender into getting his "original" recipies- finally he showed me the truth. I've since used this book to enhance the entertainment at my own parties. Very enjoyable results!
