This was a great gift!,
This review is from: Kitschy Cocktails: Luscious Libations for the Swinger Set (Hardcover)
This is one of those things that it's hard to tell what it's going to be like online, but when it arrived, it was exactly what was described. A cool book with drink recipes and lots of little plastic drink "accessories." A great gift for someone who likes mixing cocktails! The recipient of the gift was impressed with it.

A Way Cool Guide to Classic & Wacky Cocktails,
This review is from: Kitschy Cocktails: Luscious Libations for the Swinger Set (Hardcover)
I thought I knew cocktails but the "kitschy cocktail muse" -- author Babs Harrison -- knows much more, a point she vividly makes in this book which stands as a pocket-sized guide to everything from Cosmopolitan Martinis to the Gombey Smash. There are plenty of recipes but what makes the book is the author's lively (even a bit twisted) sense of humor. And it doesn't hurt at all that the book is packaged with a set of kool kitschy stirrers and paper umbrellas for dressing up drinks! Read it Before your next cocktail party!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect hostess, birthday or "just because" gift,

This book will make any party an instant success. Even if you don't use every recipe -- the book alone is a conversation piece. Throw on a hip CD and the night will be anything you want it to be.
