The Complete Bartender's Guide
An illustrated celebration of libation. While mixed drinks have a long history, the cocktail as we know it today has its roots during Prohibition in the 1930s. Homemade hooch, bathtub gin and other blackmarket beverages were usually unpalatable on their own. But add some juice, fruit, and a splash of sugar and voila! the results were intoxicating. The Complete Bartender's Guide is a lavishly illustrated cocktail sourcebook. There is so much more to cocktails than the drinks themselves. Discover their fascinating history, lore, recipes, and even where to find them at some of the world's best bars. This 400-page book goes way beyond any professional bartender's guide. Key features

Recipes for 750 drinks along with a little historical background on drinks and the alcohol used to make them. A nice little guide to bars in the USA and around the world is found in the back of the book. Sadly I’ve only been to a few of the listed ones, at least that I can remember ;-)
