Frank Meier's The Artistry of Mixing Drinks is the work of a Master Mixologist, a bartender that doesn't have a job but a passion. This book talks about cocktails, wines, horse racing and how to live. The reader is not just getting recipes; he is offered, through this reference book, the opportunity to do some very enhancing detective work and use this book to cross examine a variety of not so well homeworked pieces of bartending literature.
