The Joy of Mixology
By Peggy Nadramia
I have a lot of books about cocktails, but this one is a basic I turn to again and again. Gary Regan (“Gaz”) talks about spirits, their background, history and uses brand names. He draws a fascinating chart of cocktails by ingredient and combination — duos, trios — and tells you when an old recipe needs personal “tweaking.” If you buy only one book about booze, make it this one.

Your endorsement is enough for me! I’ve been looking for that “one” cocktail book for years. Finally, a foundation text recommended by a trustworthy mentor!
