I couldn't have been more thrilled with this book. I received it as a Christmas gift & everyone spent all day flipping through the pages. The photographs are beautiful & the font used to write the recipes is super fun & colourful. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good classic cocktail. It's like a children's picture book for adults! My friends all love it as well, & I've already made a few of the drinks inside. The recipes are dead on, classic, & wonderful. Belongs on the coffee table - you won't want to put it away.

This book is a masterpiece both as an artwork and as a collection of fabulous cocktail recipes.
It is spiral bound with a hidden spine and the cover is thick and soft to the touch.
The photographs are beautiful and there is a range of easy to complex recipes.
A great book to have on the kitchen shelf.

I have more than ten different books on popular mixology. Each one of them has something I couldn't live without, but this is my new favorite for three reasons: 1)The recipes are mostly excellent versions of the classics, not someone's eccentric take on them 2)The format is smart and convenient with large print and a ring binding to stay open and readable at a distance 3)The pictures are exciting, elegant and inspire your best efforts at presentation.
