Bartending Guide

Bartending For Dummies
We love the "...For Dummies" series. They always pack a lot of great information into an easy to digest guide. In addition to drink recipes which can be found at the back of the book, they have loads of information on bar ware, serving and mixing instructions, types of alcohol, what basic
ingredients you should have on-hand for a party and a dictionary.

Another feature of the series is that they have neat little anecdotes on the side of pages (history of the margarita), it's written in a witty voice (they tackle the question - can James Bond really tell whether his martini was shaken, not stirred?) and they also have great tips like what types of inexpensive alcohol you should buy for a party and what drinks gets served in which glass.

It's inexpensive, informative and fits neatly behind the bar...just in case.
