Find of the Day!

I just want to brag for a brief moment. Today I went to Half-Price Books before heading into the bar, and I found a copy of Esquire Drinks: An Opinionated & Irreverent Guide to Drinking for $7. I had actually contemplated biting the bullet and buying the book from Amazon for $56, but man, am I glad I waited. I have been trying to expand my cocktail bookshelf lately and definitely had this one on the list. Now, if I could only find The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks for $4, I would have had a pretty good week. If you’re looking to expand your drinks library, there are several great books out there to start with. A couple of bloggers have already put together some great lists for you, so start here or here. But, make sure to check your local used book store first, I was surprised at how many cocktail books I found - some of the books even described how to make a proper drink.
