For example, once you understand that the Margarita is a member of the New Orleans Sour Family, you’ll instantly see that a Kamikaze is just a vodka-based Margarita; a Cosmopolitan follows the same formula, with some cranberry juice thrown in for color. Similarly, the Manhattan and the Rob Roy, both members of the French-Italian family, are variations on the whiskey-vermouth-bitters formula.

In this way Regan brings a whole new understanding to the world of cocktails and how to make them. Not only will you learn how to make standard cocktails, you’ll actually learn to feel your way through making a drink, thereby attaining the skills needed to create concoctions of your own. And as Regan explains methods for mixing drinks, how to choose bartenders’ wares and select spirits and liqueurs, and the origins of many cocktails, you’ll feel as though you’re behind the bar with him, learning from a master. Plus, his charming and detailed history of mixed drinks raises this far above the standard cocktail guide fare.

With more than 350 drink recipes, The Joy of Mixology is the ultimate bar guide. Ground-breaking and authoritative, it’s a must-have for anyone interested in the craft of the cocktail.]]> 225993 4.18 83 14 2003 454549 0061092207 9780061092206 0 <![CDATA[The Bartender's Bible: 1001 Mixed Drinks and Everything You Need to Know to Set Up Your Bar]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174920117m/454549.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174920117s/454549.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/454549.The_Bartender_s_Bible_1001_Mixed_Drinks_and_Everything_You_Need_to_Know_to_Set_Up_Your_Bar 3.81 16 Mix Drinks Like A Pro

Best of all are the whisky-inspired food and drink recipes. The Southern-Style Spiked Chocolate-Pecan Pie oozes under the weight of semisweet chocolate, Bourbon whipped cream, and dark corn syrup. For savory lovers, "Manhattan" New England Clam Chowder and a Roast Pork Loin with Bourbon Steeped Prunes and Apricots are well worth the long preparation times. As for the drinks and cocktails--Mint Julep #1 is sure to heat up the day, and a Bourbon Milk Punch is a feisty little number. --Naomi Gesinger ]]> 225993 4.18 83 14 225992 4.42 12 1 1995 1109084 0762400137 9780762400133 0 <![CDATA[The Bourbon Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181072187m/1109084.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181072187s/1109084.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1109084.The_Bourbon_Companion_A_Connoisseur_s_Guide 4.33 3 225993 4.18 83 14 225992 4.42 12 1 1998 398410 0762400617 9780762400614 0 <![CDATA[The Martini Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174428715m/398410.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174428715s/398410.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/398410.The_Martini_Companion_A_Connoisseur_s_Guide 4.33 3 225993 4.18 83 14 1997 6718499 9781441546883 1 <![CDATA[The Bartender's Gin Compendium]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6718499-the-bartender-s-gin-compendium 4.50 2 225993 4.18 83 14 2009 653993 0764567063 9780764567063 0 <![CDATA[New Classic Cocktails]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176781268m/653993.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176781268s/653993.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/653993.New_Classic_Cocktails 4.00 1 White Peach Sangria and Pomegranate Sangria —chef Bobby Flay
