4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of recepies, March 13, 2005

By 

Marko Vucic - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New York Bartender's Guide (Hardcover)

I think I have a bit older version of the book, but anyway I find it rather good. There are plenty of recepies, though many sorts of drinks are included in only one single recipe. For example Grappa (I have finally found it) is used for only one coctail. And many other simmilar examples. Other thing I do not like is the format. Many times I had to find something heavy enough to press the book and to keep it open, and then to put the same thing on the closed book in order to press it back. The refernce could have been done better as well. But anyway, this is my first book of this type and I found it much better of anything else I could find at that moment. Even now it is in top 3 of my choice. Plenty of good coctails of all kinds (no shooters!!!), nice pictures (not for all coctails), and great variety of ingredients used.

This review is from: New York Bartender's Guide (Paperback)

We stumbled across this book purely by accident; while neither of us are bartenders, this book is GREAT to have around if you're looking for something wild or new to serve up for your friends at dinner or a party. A lot of really great recipes, and the gold edged pages and leather cover make it a nice book to show off. Remember to drink responsibly!

4.0 out of 5 stars The most concise and coherent spirit book I've seen..., October 21, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The New York Bartender's Guide (Hardcover)

The New York Bartender's Guide is the simplest of its type. I've been using the Mr. Boston book for years now, and find that the 'NY' does just as well, if not better because it is more up to date, and allows for easier referencing. I recommend this book highly if you are the type who likes to try new things!
