SIMPLIFY! Confused by all those other bar books that push products or clutter you by demanding dozens of bottles of alcohol and a parade of confusing recipes which daunt your taste buds with childishly sugary dessert drinks? Stop looking: this is the book you need. CLASSY DRINKS FOR THE NOOB shows you simply and precisely how to make a basic bar with under a dozen bottles of popular spirits (less if you desire) and yet make dozens of time tested classic cocktails for the sophisticated drinker. It even has some sugary dessert drinks thrown in for good measure. Cut through the myriad recipes and kitschy fruit flavored liquors, and make the drinks your great grand dad and his pappy enjoyed in tougher times when the world knew how to put hair on your chest and a smile on your face.
