Product Description
Product Description
This book contains more cocktails than any other - 1,500 of them, ranging from classic Martinis to unblushing modern concoctions such as Sex on the Beach. Recipes are user friendly, assembled on a 'unit' basis that clearly shows the proportions needed to make the perfect cocktail - without fuss. Ingredients and equipment are easy to acquire, techniques straightforward. Bewildering measures - 'jigger', 'half-gill' 3/4 fl oz - are avoided. There is much entertainment to be found in these pages too, with revealing anecdotes about many of the cocktails, and generous sprinklings of apposite quotations, risque jokes and little curiosities. The Ultimate Cocktail Book is more than a reference guide, it's a concocter's companion and a source of enlightenment. A volume tailor-made, in short, for good mixers.

Book was in perfect condition and receipes look very exciting!
Only disappointment was the book had no pictures and didn't look very interesting inside. I would buy one from a shop next time so I can take a closer look inside.

This review is from: The Ultimate Cocktail Book (Wordsworth Reference) (Paperback)
At first glance, this book looks great - loads of recipes, interesting little side anecdotes dotted throughout, and helpful informatio about ingredients. However, the book falls down in one important area - most of the recipes are wrong. I'm no cocktail expert, but my suspicions were raised when I looked up a cocktail I have drunk all over the world - White Russian - and saw it listed as containing Creme De Methe. I assure you, the Dude would never drink something that tasted of toothpaste!
Another example is Long Island Ice Tea, which is lists as - 3 units vodka, dash of cola. Now, a quick google search will tell you it's missing at least 4 or 5 ingredients, depending on whose recipe you look at. Also, those ingredients wouldn't even make a long drink which is even inferred by its name! I recommend you avoid, or at least double-check each recipe before you make it.

Good reference if running a coctail night. Loads and loads of different recipes. Too many for my purposes but i'm not complaining. Amounts of each ingredient could be made clearer
