This book is my way of revealing some of the secrets to my success-it's my contribution to a bartending tradition that began in the mid -1800s, when the world's first mixologist, "Professor" Jerry Thomas, wrote the first ever book about cocktails. He would impress with drinks such as the Blue Blazer, setting whiskey on fire and passing it between two mixing glasses. It was his theatrics, charisma, personality, presence, and know how that has inspired countless bartenders, myself included. Cocktails are hugely popular right now, probably more than ever before. Certainly, there has never been such a choice of great quality spirits, liqueurs, and fresh fruits and juices so freely available. This book will transform the most ignorant imbiber into a sauce-slinger extraordinaire, ready to go out and bartend recreationally or professionally.
