From the Back Cover

Rarity at its best. Many of the popular liqueurs and cordials on the market are simulated in this book. Most are identical in alcohol, water and sugar content and virtually identical in flavor. Liqueurs and cordials are simple to make; and it is fun to produce them at this quality and caliber that many think to be out of their league. Enjoy!

It is simple to make quality liqueurs and cordials that are very similar to store-bought brands at home. In fact, many "home brews" are much better! They are very economical at a cost of as little as one-fourth or less of an in-store brand. They are fun to make and are an excellent way to express your creativity. With a little practice and patience, you can be producing liqueurs and cordials specifically tailored to your taste.

If you want to spend 8 dollars to get a paper copy of a bunch (well really not that many) of recipes that are easy to find on the internet, go right ahead. I wish I hadn't.

This review is from: How To Make Quality Liqueurs & Cordials at Home. (Paperback)

This book was extremely disappointing. I bought it expecting it to talk about how to make cordials, instead it teaches how to mix alcohol and syrup. To me, cordial making starts with a raw ingredient (fresh fruit, nuts, herbs, and/or flowers) and then continues from there. If you are interested in learning how to begin making cordials or in gaining new ideas or techniques, look elsewhere. The reason it is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because there is a little bit of useful information on making extracts, but that informaiton is definitely not worth the price of the book.

This is by far the best Irish Cream recipe that I've tried. I have to disagree with the guy who said that these recipes are easy to find on the internet. He obviously didn't make this recipe. Speaking from experience...I can tell you that Irish Cream made with sweetened condensed milk and eggs does not pass the muster. This recipe uses neither and tastes superb. As you can tell I am an Irish Cream fanatic!
