This beautiful, little book is filled to the brim with mixed-drink recipes...all categorized by the exotic (or local) birthplace of the recipe. Every recipe has a gorgeous, full color photo accompanying it. Great for visual people like myself. I gave this as a birthday gift alongside a cocktail shaker for my bachelor neighbor. He loved it!

Love this book! I've given it to friends as a housewarming present, new couples getting married with a cocktail shaker and their favorite liquor as well as my go-to hostess gift packaged with fun cocktail napkins or an iTunes gift card to download the cool playlist. Great, easy-to-follow recipes that add a shot of fun to your next party. It's the first book I pull out when we're ready to entertain.
