Other than your own recently released book (which is on my wish list, of course :smile: ), which cocktail books would you recommend as essential to a serious home bartender? Personally I'm more interested in well ballanced, classic mixtures rather than the overly sweet, fru-fru tropical drinks-with-umbrellas which seem to dominate many modern cocktail books.
