Christmas will soon be here – although the pine needles might still be in the carpet from last year. Our thoughts turn to gift-giving and this year there is a perfect suggestion for those who love cocktails and those who want to learn how to make them. It’s Bartending Basics: More Than 400 Classic and Contemporary Cocktails for Any Occasion.
The author, Cheryl Charming, has penned many books on the subject and has for twenty-eight years been tending bar around America. Cheryl also writes cocktail related articles, works as a cocktail consultant, and hosts national cocktail events. She is a member of The Bartenders Guild and The Museum of the American Cocktail.
This volume is colourful and isn’t just a cocktail recipe book. It doesn’t assume you know anything about mixing and serving drinks. It has plenty of advice for those enthusiasts who now want to elevate their beverages.
Classic and contemporary
There are chapters on glassware, garnishes, bar gear and then it’s on to the recipes. There are classic cocktails for the purist, and this is where anyone new to the craft should start. Did you know there is a difference between a shot and a shooter? The topic is covered in Bartending Basics, as well as healthy and green drinks which must be at the other end of the cocktail spectrum.
Bartending Basics: More Than 400 Classic and Contemporary Cocktails for Any Occasion must be one of the most comprehensive cocktail books on the market and it’s great value, too. This could be the only cocktail book you will ever need.
