À propos de cet e-book

Discover insider secrets and insight from bartenders all over the country on how to properly order, serve, and drink alcohol without looking like a novice.

Each year we spend over $200 billion on alcoholic beverages. From egg white–infused cocktails and Italian liqueurs to barrel-aged beer and fortified wine, it can be difficult to keep track of all the latest trends.

Bartenders know all the inside info, and they are ready to share their knowledge. Drink Like a Bartender is a modern and fresh guide to everything bar and booze related. Novice and experienced drink lovers will learn the secrets of the industry, such as:

-Which drinks make a bartender judge you (two words: fireball whiskey)
-When to order top shelf (if you are ordering a Long Island Iced Tea, then no…)
-Whether you need to use specific glasses or not (the answer is yes)
-What kind of liquors to always have in your house for guests (vodka)
-When to shake and when to stir (James Bond was totally wrong with his martini)
-How to order your drink at the bar (liquor first…always)

With tips and secrets from mixologists all over the country, new takes on classic cocktail recipes, a glossary of bar terms and lingo only the pros use, and fascinating alcohol-related trivia, you will be thinking, talking, and drinking like a bartender in no time.
