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.
