Summary

A thoroughly updated edition of the 2003 classic that home and professional bartenders alike refer to as their cocktail bible。 Gary Regan， the "most-read cocktail expert around" （Imbibe）， has revised his original tome for the 15th anniversary with new material: many more cocktail recipes--including smart revisions to the originals--and fascinating information on the drink making revival that has popped up in the past decade， confirming once again that this is the only cocktail reference you need。

A prolific writer on all things cocktails， Gary Regan and his books have been a huge influence on mixologists and bartenders in America。 This brand-new edition fills in the gaps since the book first published， incorporating Regan's special insight on the cocktail revolution from 2000 to the present and a complete overhaul of the recipe section。 With Regan's renowned system for categorizing drinks helps bartenders not only to remember drink recipes but also to invent their own， The Joy of Mixology， Revised and Updated Edition is the original drinks book for both professionals and amateurs alike。

Xavrin ，

I enjoyed a lot the practical chapters （recipes chapter is not something you really read for pleasure so I'm not gonna cover it）。 A lot of great hints for bartending。 The history chapters wasn't that great - I was bored， I guess the history of cocktails isn't that exciting。 When there are 4 different theories about the etymology of the word "cocktail"， you know likely none of them is true and the interest is gone。 I enjoyed a lot the practical chapters （recipes chapter is not something you really read for pleasure so I'm not gonna cover it）。 A lot of great hints for bartending。 The history chapters wasn't that great - I was bored， I guess the history of cocktails isn't that exciting。 When there are 4 different theories about the etymology of the word "cocktail"， you know likely none of them is true and the interest is gone。 。。。more

Fantastic book that presents the history of cocktails in the US and the art of bartending。

Joey Tayler ，

One half lively history of the cocktail， one half definitive recipe book。 This will never leave my home bar。

Where the first edition of this book is a bartending classic and a delightful accidental time capsule that preserved the state of cocktails as of the mid-1990s， this updated manual is an odd mix of then and now。 For the most part the changes are for the better。 Mr Regan still advocates for free-pouring， but he's also added a new， prominently placed essay addressing harassment in the workplace。 Mr Regan retains his liberal use of personal anecdotes， and while many still involve close friends， mos Where the first edition of this book is a bartending classic and a delightful accidental time capsule that preserved the state of cocktails as of the mid-1990s， this updated manual is an odd mix of then and now。 For the most part the changes are for the better。 Mr Regan still advocates for free-pouring， but he's also added a new， prominently placed essay addressing harassment in the workplace。 Mr Regan retains his liberal use of personal anecdotes， and while many still involve close friends， most of those that are new spotlight prominent cocktail theorists and writers like Dave Arnold and Jim Meehan。 Some of the editing has gotten worse （I found one sentence that was unchanged except for a comma that was wrongly introduced）， but the substantive changes are admirable。The cocktail recipe section， too， is improved albeit inconsistently。 Huge numbers of saccharine drinks with cringe-inducing names like Angel's Tit have been removed。 Newly introduced drinks include some present-day staples like the Aperol Spritz， but a larger fraction are pet creations of Mr。 Regan and his favorite bartenders。 Many popular-again classics like the Boulevardier and the New York Sour remain inexplicably absent， and the few cocktails that appear in both editions are inconsistently handled。 The Pegu Club and the Sidecar， sibling cocktails of the daisy family， were both spec'd in the first edition using Gaz's questionable 4:2:1 sour ratio。 The former has been brilliantly rectified under the guidance of Audrey Sanders， but the latter apparently had no champion of its own and remains unchanged。I tip my hat to Mr Regan， who clearly threw himself into this second and improved edition and spared no elbow grease。 Given the fact that neither edition's recipe section is a trustworthy reference， I favor the charm of the time-capsule first edition， but really the heart of Joy is Mr Regan's hard-earned knowledge of working behind the bar， and those kernels of wisdom， thankfully， come through well in both editions。 。。。more
