I wish I could make cocktails this good and write this well.

I'll be the first to admit it has taken me a long time to come round to Gary Regan. I first encountered his Bartender's Bible many moons ago in the early 90s. While I love the sections on scotch I just didn't get into it. I wanted to like it, but the drinks menus seemed very prosaic. Not that I was in a position to be fussy.

Recently I purchased the Joy of Mixology and I was converted. The man knows his stuff. So when I happened across this bar side story I was quite delighted. I wish I could write this well. Hell, these are the kinds of stories I'd wish Moose Industries could be full of.
