(More customer reviews)Books on cocktails and mixed drinks tend to be disorganized lists of fun-sounding drinks. They're fun, but you end up just memorizing a drinks by rote. That's where this Ultimate Guide book stands head and shoulders above many others.
The Ultimate Guide is neatly organized into tabbed sections by the base liquor (e.g, rum drinks, brandy drinks, whiskey drinks), so that you can see how variations occur around a central ingredient. The result is that one comes away with a feeling of how mixed drinks are invented, much in the way a good cookbook does not just give you recipes to follow, but also teaches you how to cook.
The Ultimate Guide is also very extensive, covering hundreds of drinks including all those you've heard of and dozens that you've never heard of. For each one, the recipe clearly lays out the ingredients, briefly describes how to make them, what kind of glass to use, what kind of garnish if any, etc. It covers all the bases. Because of this, it really is a good reference book for professional bartenders, as well as a great resource for entertaining in your home.
