The Joy Of Mixology

Penned by Gary 'Gaz' Regan, 'The Joy of Mixology' kicks off with a colorful history of the cocktail and mixed drinks world. It then transitions to the recipe section of the book, where Regan focuses on the different 'families' of cocktail styles through informative tables. With Regan’s renowned system for categorizing drinks helps bartenders not only to remember drink recipes but also to invent their own, The Joy of Mixology, Revised and Updated Edition is the original drinks book for both professionals and amateurs alike. About The Joy of Mixology, Revised and Updated Edition. A thoroughly updated edition of the 2003 classic that home and professional bartenders alike. Once Cooking is trained, you can start collecting Legion Recipes in the world. Many Legion Recipes do not give many skillups, so you are better off acquiring The Joy of Draenor Cooking from Draenor and crafting Grilled Saberfish and Saberfish Broth to reach 600. Or, get through 1-525 using Pandaria Cooking recipes from Sungshin Ironpaw.

As the author of The Bartender's Bible, The Book of Bourbon and New Classic Cocktails, Regan is no stranger to spirits, and in his newest work he sets out to explain'the histories behind various cocktails and perhaps come up with some new theories, if not conclusions, along the way.' He accomplishes it all, offering a definitive and entertaining guide to the bartender' trade. Beginning with a solid history of mixed cocktails, Regan then provides an instruction manual for bartenders, asking,'do you have what it takes?' He instructs on everything from bartender etiquette (how to treat a customer who doesn't tip, how to tell someone he's had enough) to the brass tacks of tending bar (how to arrange liquor bottles, how to rim a glass and how to pour out precise measurements). Regan misses nothing, and everything he covers is simply explained; clear illustrations identify the'families' of cocktail glasses, while charts show the'families' of alcohol. It isn't until three-quarters through the book that Regan begins his cocktail recipes. And by that time, readers will finally have the knowledge to prepare each one.

An old fashioned glass, traditionally used for serving spirits

The old fashioned glass, rocks glass, lowball glass^[1]^[2] (or simply lowball), is a short tumbler used for serving spirits, such as whisky, neat or with ice cubes ('on the rocks'). It is also normally used to serve certain cocktails, such as the old fashioned, from which it receives its name.

Old fashioned glasses typically have a wide brim and a thick base, so that the non-liquid ingredients of a cocktail can be mashed using a muddler before the main liquid ingredients are added.

Old fashioned glasses usually contain 180–300 ml (6–10 US fl oz).^[3]^[4] A double old fashioned glass (sometimes referred to by retailers as a DOF glass) contains 350–470 ml (12–16 US fl oz).^[4]^[5]
