The Ultimate Cocktail Book

by Bill; Mersh Neil Reavell

Once again the epitome of glamour in America, cocktails are both taste-bud-tingling treats and superbly stylish. Sophisticated, cool, and appealing to the eye, just like the beverages it presents, this ultimate book on the ultimate libation is itself a recipe for the perfect cocktail party. Begin with the basics--essential equipment, decorating and serving tips, unassailable bartending advice. Mix in hundreds of spectacular color photographs and a full range of fabulous concoctions, from the classic Martini to the treacherous Knockout, from elegant slow sippers to deadly Scorpions, from a Cool Wind to a Sirocco. Garnish with a chapter on alcohol-free cocktails too delicious and good-looking to limit to the drivers. The result? A subtle and harmonious blend of information stirred, not shaken, into a book with a powerful kick.

[Adam · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice collection of cocktails. The instructions can be a little terse in spots. This book won't make you a bartender, but it will help you throw a cocktail party.
