Summary: No Adequate Required. Just have fun...
Review: The author Francis A. Olivo "Fancy Frank" graduated from the Minnesota School of Bartending and has been in the liquor business for five years. Have fun and learn how to make Bloody Marys, Pina Coladas, Iron Butterflies, Kamikazes, Long Island Ice Teas, and old fashions all from scratch. A complete Martini, Margarita, Manhattan, and Rob Roy sections. He explains understanding liqueur tastes. It has a complete drink mixes glossary. Includes safety tips. Common slang terms and much, much, More. However, the thing I like most is how the author takes all the adequate out of mixing drinks. The definition of "Adequate" is coming up to the required standard of or being very well disciplined in certain customs. Well the author makes it very clear. You don't have to come up to any required standard to enjoy making drinks, nor is it the intention of this book to make you very well disciplined in certain customs. The main idea is to have fun and explore new exotic mixed drinks. The author has a great sense of humor and he's got a killer recipe for Martinis and Long Island Ice Teas. Buy the book, just the names of some of these drinks will keep you laughing. Regards The Unknown Critic....
