No Cat for Barguides
Is their no category for barguides? Their should be a category and maybe a list of Famous Barguides or something like that, I think. That is what I am searching for and not finding. —Preceding

Several passages in this article sound like they are blurbs or direct quotations:
The book is noteworthy for its witty, highly opinionated and conversational tone, as well as its categorization of
cocktails into two main types: aromatic and sour; its categorization of ingredients into three categories: the base, modifying agents, and special flavorings and coloring agents; and its 1:2:8 ratio (1 part sweet, 2 parts sour, 8 parts base) for sour type cocktails.
a cocktail, in the classic sense (a before-dinner drink) should have no more than the slightest touch of sweetness to it
The book gained immediate popularity and quickly became one of the most referenced and cited cocktail books. The book was highly influential on generations of cocktail enthusiasts and professionals, including many who were responsible for today’s cocktail Renaissance, and it elevated Embury, an attorney who never worked within the liquor profession, to great levels of respect within the liquor profession.
There are judgements in this article that beg for substantiation; otherwise they come off as editorializing or WP:OR: "witty, highly opinionated and conversational tone".
The list of cocktail recipes doesn't seem to belong here. If these are important recipes, don't they belong in the individual cocktails' articles? --
