It's OK ... but not all that July 18, 2008
This book does exactly what it says on the cover and that is give you 1000 cocktail recipes.... but not a lot more than that. It is clearly laid out but dull. You need this book in your house hold in the same way as you need a drain un-blocker. It's very very useful but not very pretty.

If you want a no-frills guide to a huge range of cocktails, this book really delivers. As well as the basic terminology (types of glass, essential equipment etc) it provides brief descriptions of most spirits, gives an indication as to how "tasty" each coctail is, an indication of the alcohol content and a short summary of where it originated.

The indexes are also really useful, listing cocktails by name or by main ingredient... Found a bottle of Creme De Cassis at the back of the cupboard? Just flick through the "index by ingredients" for some inspiration on how best to get rid of it!

All-in-all one of the best general cocktail recipe books I've come across.

My only change would be to print it on splash-proof paper!

This is an excellent book which covers just about every cocktail on the go, allthough there are always going to be different 'home' recipes and 'house' recipes for a lot of bars and clubs you go to. This will not only give you recipes for drinks you want to make or have heard of before, but will also give you ideas of what to do with some of the bottles you've got lying round after Christmas and can't think what to do with them.

Lots of the cocktails come with 'alcohol content' and sometimes a quick tale of where or when the particular drink was first made.

An excellent all rounder which looks good on the shelf.

This book will tell you how to start on mixing cocktails, what to buy first and how the cocktails came around.

My favourite is the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.......Oh my head..

An easy to follow book showing how to mix cocktails and how to build up your own versions. A 'no pictures - no frills' book which I have found indespensible.
