This review is from: diffordsguide to Cocktails: Volume 6 (Diffordsguide) (Hardcover)

This has got to be one of the most comprehensive, if not the most comprehensive book on the art of bartending and mixology.

Everything from glassware, mixing, tools, and garnishes is covered and that's not even starting on the actual drinks. They have absolutely EVERY drink imaginable.

Now don't go looking for some drink that you invented years ago while you were in college, because it's not going to be there. But every legitimate drink is listed here. GREAT BOOK!
