Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book about Martinis: mixology, preparation, history, style, and their unique place in literature. The guides to preparing each martini and its variations are well written, understandable, and insightful. If you're a James Bond or vodka martini fan, you'll find the information in this book to be top notch. This book also does the best job I've seen of putting the martini into context with other cocktails, and explaining important "dos and don'ts." The history of each martini and its creator makes you feel like you know them personally. You won't feel shy about asking for something unusual, and passing on your favorites to a bartender (without a hint of snootiness). The book's listing of state-by-state martini hotspots is less than complete, it could use a brief description of some rare or unfamiliar ingredients and their sources, and the index could be polished and expanded. Hopefully, these minor detractions will be corrected in th! ! e next printing, but in the mean time, this is a fantastic book for the novice or aficionado.
Format:Paperback
This is the ultimate book if you want to understand the style and substance of martinis and its culture. I promise you, if you love cocktails and martinis in particular, this will be the best $10 you have ever spent!!!!!
Format:Paperback
Finally, an ultimate book about the ultimate cocktail! A new twist on a classic subject. It was thoroughly researched, unendingly funny, and spilling over with fabulous drink recipes. I've never seen so much packed into a $10 book. Couldn't figure out why I kept seeing it mentioned in magazines, then a friend gave me a copy. I was truly shaken and stirred. I'd rate it at least four vermouth-marinaded olives.
