Even local book reviewer Bud Navero took an immediate liking to this book. An infamous rum, vodka, and beer drinker, Bud found nirvana here. Even a veteran bar crawler like Bud found interesting facts, tidbits, trivia, and secrets imparted in a book that reads like a great story, not to mention a feeling of great pride that his main watering hole is listed as one of the World's 50 Greatest Bars!
Not a secret to Green Parrot fans, fancy drinks and stemware do not necessarily a great bar make, and we are just tickled pink to be included in this wonderful book which includes the recipe for our famous Root Beer Barrel as well as some anecdotal information which includes famous patrons, famous patrons who've been kicked out, our special tricks with rum, and other great Green Parrot stories.
From the back cover:
"Cocktail connoisseurs Joseph Scott and Donald Bain have enticed the most skilled bartenders from the world's greatest bars into sharing their secrets for mixing the perfect drink, and how to do it with the same confidence, style and panache for which they're famous. With classic drinks and special variations, recipes for signature cocktails, and all the tricks of the trade that characterize the best mixologists, every home bartender will be mixing, shaking and pouring drinks to please the most discerning guest.
"Make drinks the way the pros do at New York's Window on the World and "21" Club; at London's Lanesborough and Athenaeum hotels; at The China Club in Paris or Chicago's famed Pump Room. Tropical drinks are offered from award-winning Caribbean bartenders, hearty drinks from Irish pubs, and specialty cocktails from Montreal, Seattle, Key West, Beverly Hills, Boston, Hong Kong and dozens of other cities - and from their great bars and bartenders."
