What’s a Dirty
Martini? How do you pronounce cuarenta y tres? Which glass do you use for
a Stinger? How did the Margarita get its name? Can gin be "bruised"?
Answers to these questions and thousands more can be found in The Ultimate
A-to-Z Bar Guide, a one-stop, user-friendly cocktail guide featuring more
than 1,000 drink recipes and over 600 definitions for cocktail-related
terms. Best-selling authors Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst stir
and shake up everything from cocktails to hangover cures and from jokes to
quotes about imbibing. Accessible, fun, hip, and written in the Herbst’s
inimitable style. The Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide deserves a place in
every bar (home or professional) and offers a unique blend of features
including:
Drink
recipes for more than 1,000 cocktails for every season and occasion—apéritifs,
after-dinner drinks, hot libations, tropical
drinks, punches, creamy drinks, coffee drinks, low calorie and non-alcoholic
drinks, and much, much more. Each recipe is complete with a graphic showing the
appropriate glass to use.
Definitions
of over
600 cocktail- and drink-related terms organized in a easy-to-read A-to-Z format
with effortless sound-out phonetics. You’ll find information on myriad
subjects including liqueurs, liquors, wine, beer, mixers, types of drinks and
cocktail jargon, plus history and etymology of drinks like the Martini and the
Fuzzy Navel.
Tips
on
everything from stocking a home bar and choosing the right glassware, plus loads
of professional bartending tricks and shortcuts for creating the perfect
cocktail.
Ideas
on how to
make sure guests have a great time while encouraging responsible drinking, plus
techniques for avoiding hangovers.
Humor
through anecdotes, toasts, and quotes from the famous and the infamous.
Four
indexes (more
than any other book of this kind) make finding the drink you want a snap.
You
can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there.
The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it
is one of the happiest marriages on earth and one of the shortest-lived.
—Bernard DeVoto, American critic, historian
