“Munat is delightfully entertaining, and his keen wit, coupled with a little sarcasm and a touch of attitude, have served him well here. It’s a darned good read.” —Gary Regan, author, The Joy of Mixology
“Ted and Michael’s book is the finest attempt anyone has made to reveal the movement that culinary cocktail-making has become.” —Scott Beattie, author, Artisanal Cocktails
“I am so very pleasantly surprised to learn that not only do some of our Western Territories have bars, but—if we are to believe this amusing and informative little volume—the conduct of those institutions is frequently placed in the hands of individuals who thoroughly know their business. I should like to visit them some day.” —David Wondrich, author, Imbibe!
