Product Description
Product Description
This book presents delicious recipes for every day, every mood and every occasion - with expert advice on how to serve the perfect drink. "The Big Book of Cocktails" presents all the information you need to become the ultimate cocktail maker and connoisseur. A fact-packed introduction not only provides an overview of cocktail-making past and present, but also brims with practical information - from glass types to the right way to shake, mix and "muddle". Indulge in the 365 cocktail recipes, organised by base ingredient - with chapters on gin, rum, vodka, brandy, whisky, other spirits, fruit and champagne. There is a chapter on non-alcoholic cocktails, too. Every alcoholic recipe is given an at-a-glance symbolic rating of alcohol content, and a symbol indicating the perfect shape of glass for serving, making this the essential party companion. Interspersed through the book are 25 "Cocktail Classics" - special features on famous cocktails, from Bloody Mary to Tequila Sunrise.

I have bought several cocktail books over the years, this is now the only one I use. The recipes are clear, and the book stays open at the page you want. The addition of some background to many of the drinks make it interesting just to browse.

This was bought for our son's friend who runs a bar on a small island in Thailand. We brought it with us when we visited last Christmas. He used it all over the holiday period and left it on the bar for customers to choose their favourite cocktail. It was a hit with all the customers and he added a few new drinks to his drinks menu!
