thought I'd drop you a line and finally say thanks for the course, opened my eyes alot. I left the Marriot a few months later to go work for living ventures. Firstly in a B&G and then at Est Est Est. Met a load of excellent bartenders who where always passing on tips on improving and got trained by a few different managers and head bartenders. All in all since attending the ipb course i've caught the bartening bug good and proper, I'm back working in hotels with Raddison loving the work more than ever.

Thank you for putting me on the right path.

Ben Reed's books should be available at most bookshops or web-stores, or you can go direct to his publisher's website.

Ben's written some great books for the novice cocktail-maker but by far his best for anyone working bar is the Bartenders Guide, which features loads of IPBartenders recipes and training material.


Ben Reed's Bartenders Guide

Packed with invaluable advice and over 200 recipes, Ben Reeds Bartenders Guide has all the information you need to serve the perfect cocktail. The first part of the book, Bar Essentials, explores the top tools of the trade and how to use them. Next, The Art of Mixology, reveals all you need to know to create drinks of your own. Did you know that tequila goes particularly well with mint? Or that aged rum and dark chocolate are a match made in heaven? With flavour profiles, advice on balancing flavours and how to achieve the perfect serve, you will soon be mixing your own cocktails with confidence. Buy it here
