Reviews"...my favorite drinks book of the year is The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique. Mr. Morgenthaler, a well-regarded Portland, Ore.-based bartender and blogger, notes that a great cocktail requires a combination of three elements: recipe, ingredient and technique. He admits that the first two have been well-plumbed in existing books, then lasers in on the third. Just learning how to make his ingenious but simple "MacGyver Centrifuge" with cheesecloth and a salad spinner to filter fruit juices is nearly worth the cover price." - Wayne Curtis, The Wall Street Journal -- -, "...my favorite drinks book of the year is The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique.

  • An essential reference

    As a big fan of the public library, I'm not one who advocates owning a lot of books. But after checking out this one from the library – and renewing it – I realized it simply had to be part of my permanent collection. It's chock-full of the useful type of information that keeps me coming back again and again. This book is to me (an avid home bartender) what Alice Waters's and Judy Rodgers's classic cookbooks are to my wife (the avid cook in our house). Highly recommended.
