The Perfect Cocktail: Hints, Tips and Recipes from a Master Bartender

Author: Greg Dempsey

Whether you're serving the classic cocktail or the latest specialty shot, today's bartender or host needs to know more than how to splash liquor into a glass.
Pouring a flawless drink is an art, and The Perfect Cocktail shows you how to do it right every time.  It covers all the most frequently ordered drinks--the classics like a Bloody Mary and a Dry Martini--but it is also the only guide to include complete recipes for the newest mixed drinks and the latest specialty shots, concoctions with names like Woo Woo and Fireball.  
Here are all the drink recipes that you'll ever need to know--and none of the recipes that no one seems to order.
So whether you're a home bartender who wants to pour a perfect drink every time, or a professional who'd like to brush up on technique and stay ahead of the crowd's shifting tastes, The Perfect Cocktail is the most valuable tool behind any bar or in any kitchen.
