This book is based on current Australian taste and practice rather than on traditional international standards and recipes, though the recipes for the classic cocktails approved by the International Bartenders Association are also given if they differ from the most popular Australian variations. This second edition is presented with full-colour photographs illustrating the making of garnishes and many finished cocktails. The text has been thoroughly revised and expanded to contain nearly twice as many recipes as the previous edition. This edition has been adopted as the official manual of the Australian Bartenders Guild. This edition includes straightforward information on Australian bar equipment, glasses and methods of service. There are illustrated step-by-step instructions on the preparation of garnishes and there is a comprehensive, easy-to-use collection of standardized recipes for cocktails in demand in Australian bars today. Non-alcoholic mocktails are included, and there is an extensive glossary of bartending terms and products.
