4.0 out of 5 stars For Dummies, right on my level, November 23, 2000
This review is from: Bartending for Dummies (Paperback)
A while ago I decided to take up bartending as a hobby. I got a drink guide, but that's all it was: a drink guide. Bartending for Dummies does what all the other For Dummies books do: it takes you by the hand, and assumes nothing. This book first teaches you about the tools of the trade, teaching you things like how to properly open champagne and wine, what glass to use, etc. Then it gives you info and history on all the popular drinks (whisky, beer, rum etc.) It gives you mixing tips, and then a whole lot of drink reccipes. It has a chapter with tables telling you what kind of liquer and mixers you'll need for a party with X amount of people, along with a list of what your humble but equipt home bar should have. It also has a great chapter on mixing layered drinks. As a bartender, I am far from pro, but now I have a little skill I can use when friends come over. The book is informative, precise, and very very helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bartending for Dummies, April 19, 2001
By A Customer
The actual Bartending for Dummies is a great book, but this is the mini book version, although Amazon does not say so. It doesn't have as many recipes or information. That's why it's so inexpensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars So you want to know how to mix drinks., June 21, 2000
By thebartend@thebartend.com (Ewa Beach, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bartending for Dummies (Paperback)
Many books out there can help you mix a drink, but Bartending For Dummies not only shows you how to make drinks, but how to stock your bar, what glasses to use and even a little trivia about some drinks. The contents are laid out in an easy to use format, and any "technical" bartending speak is explained to you. Dont get this book if you are expecting tons and tons of drink mixes, it just isnt there but it makes up for it by giving you all the practical information you need to get going!
