JOY OF MIXOLOGY
I usually recommend The Joy of Mixology, by Gary Regan, first and foremost. Gary is the everyman each bartender should know and revere. He has incomparable foresight and is always looking at new designs. He was making orange bitters when no one was making them. He’s a great role model, writer and educator.
