I was once a mixologist: for seven days. It wasn't that I didn't like mixing cocktails, I did. What I didn't like was working in a restaurant. Fortuantely I discovered Ron and Sharon Herbst's The Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide so I can pursue my love of mixology at home. Within you'll find a wide variety of cocktail recipes all clearly proportioned in a user-friendly style. Indispensible.
