I actually went to bartending school about a year and a half ago. I know a lot of people make fun of Bartending schools and say that they are scams, but I did have fun. I spent 500$ and never got a Bartending gig but I did have a blast.Any book that starts off with a W.C. Fields quote is A ok in my book!When I was reading this book I was thinking back to when I was trying to memorize many of the drinks in here. There's so many! The Adios MF, Bay Breeze, Sea Breeze, Cape Cod, there was a little Cuba Libre joke in here that was funny. It made me want to still go out and try to get a Bartending gig again! My problem is that I want to be behind the bar, and every single place that I applied for seems to either want someone with 4+ years experience. Or, If you have no experience then you better be a hot chick in a mini skirt!All the important recipes that people order are in here. From the pinky in the air Martini sipping crowd, down to the BJ shooter College kid crowd.I am more of an IPA beer guy myself but hey, I love mixing drinks for others. I definitely recommend this book. Not just for Bartenders even though it is a great book for an active Bartender to have. But even a person who entertains friends at home. There is great drink recipes all throughout the book.
