Summary: A work of art........
Review: A very cool book with some exceptional photographs of different drinks. There's not much explanation on preparing the different drinks other than the obvious ingredients, plus there's only 100 drinks listed. What makes this book special are the photographs. If you're a bartender or just an enthusiast that wants to serve impressive looking cocktails, this book gives you a lot of ideas. As any good chef will tell you, "it's all in the presentation."

It's too bad the book is softcover, plus it would've been nice if the photos were a little larger (they're about 7" x 5"). It's nice to keep around for guests to see, though. Makes you thirsty. There's a few sample photographs here on this site. Check em out to see what I mean.

Hope my review helped!

Review: I enjoy dipping into this book for the beautiful photography as much as the cocktail recipes. The antique glasses and nostalgic shots of a bygone era make it a memorable read. I just wish the book had been made with a sturdier cover - mine has already started disintegrating.

Summary: fun to do and fun to look at
Review: I just got this book, and really, I love it. Allright it only has 100 cocktails in it, but if you are planning on making more than a hundred different cocktails you can always buy another book, probably it wont be as nice to look in but hey, you wanted recepies right. Still I think it is a very nice book to have, because it's just nice to look in and it has the nececary instructions on makeing all those wonderfull cocktails yourself. And it also gives a nice picture of what the cocktail could look like, gets your tastebuds more ready than just plain text.
