Book Review: A Love of the Bar
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best bartending/mixology guide I have come across. Gary Regan is a pro in the old school sense. He is a master of his craft, an artist willing to dispense knowledge to anyone interested enough to listen. This is a book for someone that wants to learn the art of mixology, not the casual amateur bartender looking to mix a few drinks at home. This is for the guy that wants to be able to share the origins and history of the Singapore Sling with his client, should they ask. This is for the guy that wants to be a master of proper bartending etiquette, from how to mix, to how to shake, how to present, all the way through to the rest.
As an expert bartender of several years, I will say this. I have read a number of books, and while some have more recipes than this, none have the quality of content or can give as good anthologies. This book will never replace having a great bartender share their secrets, but it is a fantastic start, or an excellent way to fine tune the subtle things.
