Praise for The Bar Book by Jeffrey Morgenthaler: "My favorite drinks book of the year is The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique. Mr. Morgenthaler, a well-regarded Portland, Ore.-based bartender and blogger, notes that a great cocktail requires a combination of three elements: recipe, ingredient and technique. He admits that the first two have been well-plumbed in existing books, then lasers in on the third. Just learning how to make his ingenious but simple 'MacGyver Centrifuge' with cheesecloth and a salad spinner to filter fruit juices is nearly worth the cover price." --Wayne Curtis, Wall Street Journal "An accessible but sophisticated primer that could render the rest of the cocktail library obsolete." --Library Journal
