Bruce Weinstein is a guy who knows how to party. And his key to partying is choosing the right drink. Spiked or zero proof, Bruce has shaken, stirred, blended, or ladled concoction for every occasion and everyone on your guest list.The cocktail traditionalist will savor Bruce's world-class Bloody Mary, while those on the cutting edge will sip one of his twelve exotic and tasty variations of this favorite libation. His classic martini comes with no fewer than fifteen spin-offs. Got a crowd coming over? No problem. Just pull out the punch bowl and fill it with Groovy Banana Wine Punch or teetotaling Pink Plum Lemonade. On a hot summer day, serve a blended tropical Papaya Smoothie or Orange Jewelious. Or blast away winter's chill with a warming coffee, tea, or fruit juice toddy. From an intimate dinner for two to a block-party bash, raise your glass and celebrate with Bruce Weinstein's The Ultimate Party Drink Book.

Summary: The Ultimate Party Drinks Book, Bar Drinks Book
Comment: A must have for any barperson - my husband was delighted! Very accurate equipment, measurements, ingredients etc.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fancy Drinks, but not very practical
Comment: Do yourself a favor and pass buy this book if you are a professional bartender. I wasted my money on this book in hopes of serving up some new and different drinks. Most drinks were not practical to make because they contain unusual and expensive ingredients. I feel it's more of a special occasion book and it ends up collecting more dust then actual use.

Summary: ok, so it's not the classics
Comment: I mean, there are the classics in here, like cosmos. But most of these are party drinks--you know, the cool drinks you wish you knew some bartender could whip up for you. The punches are the best. The best! In fact, this is my second copy, because my first got so water-logged after too many parties. What a fun book. It's not that stuffy "what a cocktail is supposed to be" book. I mean, that's great--but this is for parties, like the ones that need big pitchers of drinks, whether with alcohol or now.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Interesting book, but look out for bloopers.
Comment: Mr. Weinstein suggests serving a "Port in a Storm" (p. 174), a hot drink, on Father's Day. A hot drink in June? mmm... He also suggests serving the "Lemon Cheesecake Thick Shake" at a baby shower. With all due respect, Mr. Weinstein, ladies' parties generally feature chicken salad, diet soda, salad, and salad, and maybe a dessert. Most women wouldn't be caught dead drinking a milkshake in front of another woman. Although the drink suggestion for each type of party is a nice idea, I would find the drinks cumbersome to make, since most of the recipes serve one or two people. For a group, a punchbowl or pitcher recipe would work better.
I appreciate the G-rated drink names--Mr. Weinstein doesn't try to be cute like other cocktail book writers. I also appreciate his grouping of drinks, such as the grouping of hot drinks--coffee, hot chocolate, tea, juice. The cover photos are beautiful--I wish that there were more photos throughout the book.

Summary: Fun & Tasty Drinks - Worth Every Penny
Comment: This book has hundreds of killer drinks that will make just about any party a smash hit. There are rum drinks galore and even non-alchoholic drinks for the designated drivers in your crowd. The drinks come in a rainbow of colors, and if you don't have a set of tiki glasses to serve them in, that's okay - you can always get some on ebay!
