Best online drink recipes?

Hi, I'm working bar back right now, trying to learn my drinks and get my card. What's your favorite source of drink recipes? So far mine is www.thebar.com, which I like because they use high quality spirits and because there's an actual bartender that demonstrates the pouring.

Field Guide to Cocktails: How to Identify And Prepare Virtually Every Mixed Drink at the Bar (Paperback)
by Rob Chirico. Rob, known here at Roadfood as Grampy, has written the definitive book on the subject.

Excellent, ordered it. I notice it is the 7th edition. Definitive and up to date. Thanks for the help. I was hoping not to have to spend money but it looks like it's necessary. I lucked out finding www.thebar.com first, it seems a lot better than the other sites devoted to drink recipes.

Ok, now I understand the name... that's a lotta liquor. Thanks for that!

We have been partaking in a new drink, to us at least, called a Wiki Waki Woo. This thing will knock on your you know what. I can handle about 2 then it's over. My personal recent fav though is a simple Hawaiian Diver..... 2 ounces of Fris Vodka and 6 ounces od pineapple juice with a little crushed ice. About 3 of those and a nice warmth comes over you


The sad news is we have about 20 bottles of alcohol in our home bar.

Hi Mara. There's a free website called www.webtender.com. Not sure how great it is as I don't mix many drinks, but I know they have a massive searchable database of drinks. You can also search by type of alcohol, or browse alphabetically.
