I am with The Jab and am very pleased that the Free-Pouring Flash and Dash of the 90's bar is giving way to skillfully crafted well-made cocktails. May I suggest, Thinkingbartender, that if you haven't already you read Gary Reagan's book on cocktails. He very skillfully catagorizes just about every cocktail into easy to use families. Within those families you can see many of the same cocktails with only one ingredient substituion (my favorite being the Kamakazie is a Vodka margerita). Excellent book and I think every home bartender should have it. Now, if I could just get a commission for promoting that book.... And then.... when is Happy Hour and who's pouring?
