Rather than a pretty coffee-table book full of color photos, bartender John Waters's practical guide is full of drink recipes more than 2,000 of them presented in a concise, easy-to-follow format and arranged in a single A to Z list by name. The book includes Waters's basics of mixology, advice on stocking a home bar, an index by liquors, and a guide to proper glassware (conveniently located inside the front cover), all within a wire binding that lets the book lie flat on the bar.
