Book Reviews of The Joy of Mixology: The Consummate Guide to the Bartender's Craft
Book Review: This book mixes it up!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're in the market for a good book on cocktail making but want more than your standard recipe book, this may be it. Joy of Mixology "mixes it up" but going through the history of the cocktail, highlighting the best times and worse times for cocktail creators and then teaches a bit about the building of a cocktail. You'll get density charts for pousse-cafe (layered) drinks along with a mass of classic recipes with a few tweaks and commentary from the author. You're not just going to get a book about making a Manhattan, you'll be given an explanation as to why it was included and perhaps who created it (if it's known).
I used this book to fill in some gaps in my mixology knowledge for my video cocktail recipe show. If you want to serve some great drinks next time you host a party, read this book and you'll be filled with great knowledge and facts that you can share with your guests while you build them out a great cocktail.
Again, if you're looking for yet another book to stack in your bar full of recipes, this is going to offer you a little more than just recipes. You may want to look elsewhere. If you want recipes and you're interested in the craft, pick this book up today.
