5.0 out of 5 stars Smoothies with a kick!, June 9, 2003

By 

"munitaraval" (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tipsy Smoothies: Over 150 Fabulous Cocktail Smoothie Recipes (Paperback)

This book was a real eye opener for me. I love
smoothies and I've also been trying to hone my
bartending skills, but for some reason I never
associated the two. When you think about it, it's a
natural combination, and the recipes in this book make
it clear how easy many of my favorite cocktails, and
several others that are new to me, can be transformed
into an alcoholic smoothie. The rum smoothies and
liqueur smoothies are my favorites, but I was
surprised how well so many vodka, whiskey, and gin
drinks make the transformation as well. It's a great
book. If you're into cocktails, or want to be, I
highly recommend it.

I haven't had a chance to try any of the recipes yet, but looking through the delicious recipes, I can tell they are really fantastic, or should I say "Fabulous." The book has lots of info regarding techniques, freezing fruit and even types of glasses. Very nice and can't wait to actually taste some of these creations.
