Synopsis

When you are serving drinks at a bar, you should have at least basic knowledge of about 200 of the most popular cocktails in your head. A cocktail is, according to Webster's New World Dictionary, “any of various alcoholic drinks made of a distilled liquor mixed as with wine, fruit juice, or soda water and usually iced.” There are thousands of different drink mixes with thousands of different names that people desire.

Whether you are planning a small cocktail party at your home, planning to start a new career, or just want to know how to make a given drink, Bartending For Dummies offers a wonderful place to start. This clearly written, easy-to-understand guide can help anyone to

Create more than 1,000 different drinks

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
