Difford's Guide to Cocktails is now in its 18th edition and has been a go-to resource for thousands of bartenders across the world for 20+ years (including me). It began life as the 'Sauce Guide' however, reconstituted from salvaged parts of a failed dot com venture and CLASS magazine. Stay tuned until the end to see if you can spot your favourite edition of Difford's Guide and let me know in the comments which of yours is the most dog eared and stained (mine is vol. 2)
