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.

Customer Reviews

First time cocktail maker
This is a great little book which is very good value for money. Lots of cocktails to make and ideal for the novice.

Very good
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.

Coctail book
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
