German: El libro está en INGLES y no es para cualquiera..! Este libro, se podría decir que ya es un libro para los que se dedican o en verdad les interesa el mundo de la coctelería, viene con diseños clásicos de bares famosos en nueva york y otras ciudades. Consejos sobre como iniciar tu propio bar y como acoplarse a tu posibilidades de venta, diseños y distribuciones de bar, claro viene coctelería y recetas, pero este libro está pensado para complementar tus conocimientos de bar y llevarlos a otro nivel, es por eso que no seria mi primera opción para alguien que solo busca recetas para preparar un fin de semana con amigos, esta es una guía más completa para una persona que se dedica a la coctelería de manera profesional.

Cooking The BooksCooking The Books: Released in 2017, this is the second book we’ve featured of Meehan’s (the first being the essential ’PDT Cocktail Book’.)
We began 2022 by abstaining from alcohol for the month of January. However, we also pledged to expand and improve our mixology skills during the year.
This exhaustive collection of text contains a wealth of information for the professional and home bar enthusiast alike. Within the pages, you’ll find history, essential hospitality industry information, expert advice, techniques and 100 recipes for classic cocktails. Not only did working through this book elevate our skills but it expanded our palate as we explored spirits we were less familiar with (rum and tequila, in particular). The book is gorgeously designed and features simple, beautiful photographs of every drink, as well as wonderful illustrations throughout. Here are the cocktails we made:

• Old Friend - Created by the author himself in 2012 for the Chef’s Club in Aspen, Colorado, this cocktail feels like a timeless classic! It features one of our favorite spirits, Campari! This bitter crimson-hued liqueur is definitely an acquired taste but we love it so much we will drink it...

Providential: This is a nice little book, but it is also a little quirky in its format, so it may not be exactly what you're expecting.

What's in the book?

History. There's a short history of how cocktails came to America, including factors such as refrigeration affecting cocktail production. Covers a lot of the main points, such as the influence of juleps and Prohibition on American cocktails. This is a good inclusion, as it informs some of the later points.

Blueprints of great bars. There is a section with a handful of blueprints of great bars, from award-winning NYC hotspots to a very famous closet bar - as in literally an armoire someone customized into a bar for house parties. The general gist is that no matter your level from home drinker to professional bar owner, you can build a great bar.

Bar-geek celebrity interviews and quotes. Interviews with famous bartenders, from quotes jammed into other articles to some small interviews with the bartenders themselves, dot the book.

Advice on setting up and running your own bar. From what equipment to get, to financial considerations. The book again tries to run the gamut from home drinker to professional bar...
