Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide, Revised


Victor Jules 'Trader Vic' Bergeron - 1972
    Now, with this revised edition, the popular restaurateur has made this classic handbook even more useful. All the newest mixed-drink creations have been added, the passe concoctions have been dropped, and many recipes have been modernized and streamlined. Here are all the classics -- Martinis, Manhattans, Gimlets, Daiquiris -- 143 exotic Trader Vic specials, and some 1,000 more, including entire chapters on punches, hot drinks, wine cups and other specialties. There's even a collection of tasty non-alcoholic drinks. The all-new illustrations include a comprehensive guide to glasses and other barware. And, of course, the book is filled with the Trader's amusing anecdotes and sensible advice about selecting, preparing and enjoying drinks. In short, the book is practical, entertaining, completely up-to-date -- and likely to remain a fixture on American bars for the next twenty-five years.
