Good variety of drinks and handy the way it is put together. Stores easily and is coated so that splashes wipe off easily. Great for parties or new drink ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect hostess and bachelorette gift! July 19, 2012

By kknapes

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Okay, I find myself going to a lot of ladies parties, which frankly, is a good predicament to be in. The Mrs Lilien cocktail swatchbook and a good bottle of booze (or simple syrup, grenadine and other fixings) is a perfect hostess and bachelorette gift. It's so fun to use and easy to understand, so we quite often find ourselves whipping up a new cocktail right then and there! I couldn't recommend it more.
