Meehan's Bartender Manual
Craft cocktails have gone from niche obsession to national standard — nearly every city now has a bar worth writing home about. Meehan's Bartender Manual is the definitive guide to how those bars get built.
Whether you're a professional sharpening your program or an amateur who wants to understand batching, mise en place, and the mechanics of a well-made drink, Jim Meehan walks you through it all in a voice that's authoritative without ever being stuffy. Chapters cover the history of the cocktail and the bar, hospitality and service, home and professional bar design, and the tools of the trade — plus the 100 cocktails every serious drinker should know, new reporting on spirits from around the world, and a rare look inside Meehan's own creative process.
Densely informative but completely approachable, and packaged with photography as considered as its contents, it's a working manual built to be used — and a classic built to last.
