Bartender's Black Book, 7th Edition: 2,700 New and Classic Recipes

That brings the complete drink count to 2,700. Thats well over a thousand more than any other pour book.

This new edition also has an expanded wine section with Robert M. Parkers, Jr. "Wine Vintage Guide," "Parker Speaks on Wine," and Parkers glossary of wine terms.

Of course this book still has all its good old features: an index by ingredients, in depth mixing instructions, metric conversion tables, a list of every possible garnish, sections on hot drinks, frozen drinks, beers, ales, lagers, and "malternatives," and S.K.C.s "Glossary of Club, Restaurant and Bar Terms, and Slang." (Sample Below.)

Weisenheimer(n): slang, an obnoxious person; someone who thinks their banter is clever or humorous, even though others may not.

Wounded Soldier (n): a beer that has been opened, partially consumed and left to die. See Soldier, and Dead Soldier.
