Barman manual

The '' Bartender's Manual '', the small bible of the cocktail lover, whether they are long or short drinks, aperitifs, afterdinners and anything else that can be born from the art of mixing, with proposals also for finger food and delicious dishes in combination . The ritual of the aperitif, more than a fashion, is now part of our costume and knowing the most famous cocktails is essential. It is nice to know how to move with ease among the `` great classics '' (Negroni, Bloody Mary, Daiquiri ...) and the new proposals born on either side of the Atlantic that have deserved to establish themselves in the repertoire of the best international bartenders. And therefore here, specially photographed, are the cocktails of all kinds to which we are initiated, without keeping any secrets or variations worthy of mention. In this new edition, updated and integrated for a further 48 pages, the cocktails follow the official classification of the IBA (International Bartender's Association) and are proposed according to three macro sections: The Unforgettables, Contemporary Classics and New Era Drinks. At the opening, a brief history of `` art '', from the days of Prohibition to ours, a bit of basic culture on the great spirits and the main spirits and a rose of interviews with great virtuosos of the shaker.
