"...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 Jeffrey Morgenthaler is an award-winning bartender and blogger who manages the bar at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon.Martha Holmberg is the author of Modern Sauces and Crêpes.

Read it cover to cover lots of good info Really interesting to hear the ins and outs of bartending from a pro. Lots of great recipes and procedures to make syrups, compound syrups, infusions, tinctures etc etc. Required reading if you want to get a job tending a bar but very heplful for anyone that wants raise the level of their home/party giving skills.MUST have book I decided I wanted to learn to make mixed drinks for an upcoming party, and my previous experience was a rum/coke, so I needed a book that would explain things to a person with no experience. This book nailed it. If you have experience with mixing drinks, this will also be helpful, because I had purchased a shaker, thinking, "it is stainless steel, how can you go wrong?" and quickly found out how I did. The book explains the technique and then gives suggestions to where to find the best (fill in the blank). I followed the suggestions and could not be more pleased. Coming from a great bartender, the author has probably seen it all. He saves you the headache, time and money and just says, "go get this" and he is spot on. I learned a lot. I followed his recipes for making my own grenadine, which was surprisingly easy and affordable. I made my own simple syrups (1:1 and 2:1). It also give great drink recipes and explains ice like no one's business. This book will give you a great overall view of mixology with pictures to see what he is talking about. If I could only have 2 books, this would be one of them and the other, is The Cocktail Codex- from the Authors of Death and Company. These two books should be all you need.Excellent Reference for Home Bartenders I recently set up a home bar and have been looking for guides that would show the ins and outs of preparing quality cocktails. There seem to be a lot of books out there with recipes, but none of them really get down to the fundamentals of technique. I have even looked into professional bar-tending classes, but they seem to inconvenient and I suspect they focus as much on customer issues and how to crank out the drinks. I typically only have one drink a night: I want it to be a good one!This book truly delivers. It is beautiful with magnificent photos, it's the right size to sit on a bar shelf and, most importantly, it really gets down to the details of technique. A good example is the chapter on shaking...About a week ago (before buying this book) I cracked the glass part of my Boston Shaker when trying to release it. It made me realize that I really had no idea how to deal with shaking a cocktail in general. Then along comes Morgenthaler's chapter on shaking. He starts by listing (in detail) the different shakers and how they can be used. He describes (in detail) the brands and qualities of the various shakers and what characteristics you should look for in each type (heavy gauge vs. light gauge steel for example). He then continues with how to grip the Boston Shaker (in detail - are you seeing a pattern yet?) and even how to practice shaking (he has his trainees use rice in the shaker).In short, this is EXACTLY the sort of information I had been looking for. The book is all about the technique that creates a truly wonderful cocktail. Yes, it includes some great recipes (more can be found on the author's blog) and, yes, it has great pictures and the explanations are well written. But most of all it gets down to the details that you could probably only get if you had a pro working alongside you.I suspect that there is a lot of great information in this book for even for professional bartenders, but it remains very accessible.I can guarantee that the pages of my copy will soon be stained with various bitters, spirits and juices.
