Product description

Review

"...my favorite drinks book of the year is The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique. Mr. Morgenthaler, a well-regarded Portland, Ore.-based bartender and blogger, notes that a great cocktail requires a combination of three elements: recipe, ingredient and technique. He admits that the first two have been well-plumbed in existing books, then lasers in on the third. Just learning how to make his ingenious but simple "MacGyver Centrifuge" with cheesecloth and a salad spinner to filter fruit juices is nearly worth the cover price." - Wayne Curtis, The Wall Street Journal---

"An accessible but sophisticated primer that could render the rest of the cocktail library obsolete." - Library Journal---

"Jeffrey Morgenthaler is our kind of guy; an obsessive practitiioner of lost arts and an inventor in his own right." - from Playboy--- --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

The basics done well

It tells you the basics and how to do it correctly. Sometimes it feels like the author is stretching the topic a bit though the general style of writing is ‘conversational’ which is okay. A lot of people rave about this book and I have to say I was initially a bit nonplussed; just about every cocktail book has a few chapters on technique (which in my opinion nine times out of ten is padding) but revisiting this book a few times has made me appreciate it more.

Excellent book for new or experienced bartenders!
Don't expect in-depth molecular recipes, but it's simple, to the point, non-patronising and full of practical advice.
A must have for any cocktail enthusiast's collection.

Not very many recipes, but great information on technique. It's a book you can sit with on an evening and actually read.
