Description: "For twenty-five years, professional barkeeps and home
mixologists alike have found Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide an invaluable aid.
Now, with this revised edition, the popular restaurateur has made his classic
handbook even more useful. All the newest mixed-drink creations have been
added, the passé concoctions have been dropped, and many recipes have
been modernized and streamlined. Here are all the classics - Martinis,
Manhattans, Gimlets. Daiquiris - 143 exotic Trader Vic specials, and some
1,000 more, including entire chapters on punches, hot drinks, wine cups and
other specialties. There's even a collection of tasty non-alcoholic drinks.
The all-new illustrations include a comprehensive guide to glasses and other
barware. And, of course, the book is filled with the Trader's amusing
anecdotes and sensible advice about selecting, preparing and enjoying drinks.
In short, the book is practical, entertaining, completely up-to-date - and
likely to remain a fixture on American bars for the next twenty-five
years."
