Almost passed. Glad I didn't. I've been drinking legally for over 50 years. Although I've never worked tending a bar, I did spend a few months in the kitchen of one while I was in grad school, and I enjoy a good cocktail. I love this book. Like a good cooking techniques book or a good shop manual for a car, this book gives me several levels of instructions - here's cheating, here's DYI, here's fine art. I get to choose. I bought the Kindle Fire version - color pictures and all. It is a great addition to the dozen or so cocktail books I own. Thanks, Steve, for pointing it out.Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-36225690268703760982014-07-08T07:37:40.000-07:002014-07-08T07:37:40.000-07:00Sounds right up my alley.

I'm not so interested in drink recipes that use exotic ingredients, but for someone who makes his own hand-cracked ice from distilled water frozen in two-liter soda bottles (me), there is definitely a right way to do it. (Let it thaw for at least 1/2 hour before cutting the jug open and taking an ice pick to it, otherwise you just get bits)<br /><br />I'm in. thanks for the recommendation, Sku!Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.com
