I've had a chance to browse through a copy. It's definitely must-have reading for the cocktail enthusiast.

Got the second volume of Mixologist: The Journal of the American Cocktail a few weeks ago and have sadly already finished it.

Some fantastic articles in there. Good insights and a dash of humor.

As a non-professional I was a little afraid some of the more bar-centric articles wouldn't have as much interest for me as the drink centric articles of the first issue. But, I really enjoyed Ryan Magarian's article about implementing cruise ship bar programs and Dale DeGroff's piece about building the perfect bar.

Word. Guess I got mine about a month ago and finished it, oh, about a month ago. I meant to post a rave but apparently forgot to do so.

In a nutshell, you may be a cocktail geek if you find that a book with an article about ice is a real page-turner and you feel a little disappointed when you reach the last page.
