I recently planned the menu for my wedding reception, and I asked the bartender to mix one of the drinks from this book as our signature cocktail: The Pacific Star (pg.106...it's a clever blend of white cranberry juice, vodka, orange curacao, lychee syrup, lemon juice, and champagne, finished off with a slice of starfruit for garnish). The cocktail was originally created by the author of 101 Champagne Cocktails for The Four Seasons Maui. It's unique and absolutely delicious. I know all of our guests will be thrilled. I have purchased several cocktail books in the past, but this one surpasses them all. The recipes are very straightforward, and something even a novice could create, but the result is spectacular every time. The author compiled a fabulous mix of her own recipes, and those of other master mixologists (such as the Ritz Cocktail on page 15). Every recipe I have mixed so far has dazzled my guests. I highly recommend this for anyone in search of delightful drink recipes that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Books like these are fun but you have to be willing to try the different recipes otherwise its just for looks on a coffee table.

If you one a one shot deal when it comes to champagne and wine cocktails this book is it. It is a compendium of cocktails made with bubbly all in one place, with over 100 recipes for fizzin' fun. I will definately be pulling out this book when the parties start rolling around. It will keep the guests on their toes and joyous all night long.

Who knew champagne could be used in so many ways! And here I thought I was limited to the traditional Mimosa when it came to champagne. Boy was I wrong, the author offers over 100 delicious uses for champagne...With its easy to follow recipes, this book will make you look at champagne in a totally "fresh" and new way!

I sure will get this book back out at holiday times. It has lovely and yummy drinks to make life more enjoyable.
