Classified by the New York Times as "The drinks mixer's bible", this compendium is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative collections of classic and modern cocktails and how to mix them. Originally intended as a reference for bartenders, the book is a perfect starting and reference point for the hobby mixer. World-famous bartender Charles Schumann (who is this cool model for suit designer Baldessarini in his spare time) carefully compiled a selection of 500 diverse recipes, including the best-known international classic cocktails. Charles Schumann has been a professional bartender for more than twenty years and owns one of the most famous bars in Europe: Schumann's in Munich. If he does not know what is good - nobody does.
