3.0 out of 5 stars Clear instructions but no really original recipes., July 12, 1999
By A Customer
I've been looking a long time for a really good home-liqueur book, and this is not it. The "Getting Started" info at the beginning is very helpful for beginners -- the authors include details about materials, procedures, and a glossary -- but the recipes themselves cater a little too much to a suburban craft-fair mentality. There are "qick-and-easy" recipes using store-bought flavor oils and food coloring (why bother?), and nearly all the recipes across the board are too sweet. That said, there are a few nice ones: a home version of Strega which clearly cost the authors some effort and experimentation, a tasty cranberry cordial and a brilliant elderberry liqueur. A good book for beginners in home liqueur production, but not much new or interesting for serious hobbyists.

1.0 out of 5 stars written to make money, August 26, 1999
By A Customer
I tried many receipes from this book, and I am very disappointed with 90% of them. The liquors have no character, are too sweet, and are mostly "quickies." What the heck is the point of making a "home" cordial by mixing vodka, food coloring, and an artificial flavouring?! Get real, just buy some cheap schnaps for $5, the taste willbe better.

But I guess you can expect those results from these authors. At the beginning of the book they admit that they wrote it because of the success of their "wine making" book (I think, I am not sure if it was really about wines). They started experimenting, and - voila! - here is another book from the "experts." Well, it does not work. Skip this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, great fun!, October 26, 2002
By Kay Hayes "knitting ninja" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've made about a dozen of the cordials in this book. They are easy to make whether you use fruit or extracts and they look and taste great! I'm including some in all my holiday gift baskets this year and we are going to feature them at our Holiday Open House. Personally, I'm not a drinker but I use cordials frequently in cooking, especially desserts. This book has saved me a lot of money considering I can make a bottle of walnut liqueur for a few dollars instead of buying it...
