Great conversation piece to have floating around your home bar area. It's got some great one liners to laugh and talk about. I'm too young for my time. Barely out of college, I smoke cigars and a pipe, love scotch, so this is right up my there. Check it out if you want some out of style/forgotten drinks or if you need something differnt on your coffee table or bar.

This book is essential for anyone trying to recreate classic cocktails in a bar or at home. The little bits of information and history are great! There was nothing wrong with these drinks the first time around, we should stop ruining them.

great cocktail book
