The best bartender's guide turns eight with this new edition, bringing its total recipe count to 2,800, more than doubling any other drink recipe book. Everything classic and obscure are here (martinis, frozen and coffee drinks, shooters, punches, flavored vodkas, gins, rums, cognac, wine, novelty drinks, etc.) with 150 brand new additions. Also new to eighth edition are: * More advice for the professional bartender * A newly expanded wine section with: Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s Wine Vintage Guide; "Parker Speaks on Wine"; A glossary of wine terms; Parker's World's Greatest Wine Values * Expanded Glossary and Beer Section * Cognac Guide And of course all the features that's made it the best selling drink recipe book on the market today are still there: index by ingredients; spiral bound for simultaneous pouring and reading; a complete list of martinis; detailed mixing instructions; sections on hot drinks, frozen drinks, beers, ales, lagers, and "malternatives;" and a list of all drink-specific garnishes.

Summary: everything but the kitchen sink - if you can find it
Comment: Tons and tons of recipes - problem is, there in no order other than alphabetical (and the given names for most cocktail have no logical reason for being called as they are), which is useless if you're trying to find varieties of a certain kind of cocktail. So you'll end up having to go through all 2500 or whatever recipes to find the 6 cosmo recipes you want. Not good. Just not very useful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It depends on how you want to use this book
Comment: Well, it depends on what you want to use this book for. It's great if you're a bartender at a restaurant and someone orders a cocktail that you've never heard of before, but for the home mixologist there are better books. You will know how to make every cocktail on the planet but not all that well and not with any flair!
Customer Rating:
Summary: absolutely stunning
Comment: this book is absolutely great!
I have these books, Original Guide to American Cocktails by Robert Plotkin, Maran Illustrated Bartending, Craft of Cocktails Dale DeGroff, Joy of Mixology By GAry regan and Bartenders Black Book!!!
out of these six books Stephen Cunningham's Bartenders Black Book is my favourite one!!
I work on a cruise line as a bartender almost six years and this book is under my shelf, part of my tool kit!!!
I would strongly recommend to everyone, there are brands listed, you use what you have in your bar, absolutely amazing!!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfect for the novice mixologist
Comment: My husband and I decided to "stock our bar", but we didn't have a good book to use as a reference tool to make use of the variety of things we purchased. This book is easy to use and easy to follow.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Informative book for amateurs
Comment: This is an informative book that is fairly easy to use. You can search based on what kind of alcohol you have, if you want frozen or mixed drinks, and then just look up the drink (they're all listed in alphabetical order, regardless of what type of drink it is). There are also suggestions on drinks and tipping bartenders. And there's a nice section about wines, too (although I'm not quite sure how to read that). Great buy!
