Summary: Cool to have, but useless
Comment: I thought this book would be really helpful to have, but I have never used it. The drinks are very involved and require multiple alcohols per drink. I don't keep much alcohol on hand, so it wasn't really realistic for me to make these types of drinks.

Summary: Great Recipes
Comment: I have had this book for a few years. I have enjoyed every recipe I have tried from it. Other cocktail books I've used were not balanced to my taste. All of my friends have enjoyed these drinks as well. Moreover, I can always find a recipe which uses the stuff I have on hand. Sure there are lots of drinks that call for things you might not have on hand, but there are plenty you can make with a modest liquor cabinet. Also I have bought this book as a gift for people becuase I use it so much with great enjoyment.

Summary: Great Party Item
Comment: I loved this book because the recipes are simple, yet it offers some new twists.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great recipes and great design
Comment: We've purchased a number of martini and other drink recipe books before coming across this one. One of the best things about this book is its spiral design. It lays flat, which means you don't have to try to hold it open or prop it up while mixing up a drink. Can't tell you how frustrating it is trying to whip up a martini or other stylish drink while trying to hold a book open! This book has great recipes, both old and new, is organized by type of liquor and even gives you ideas for the best glass to serve your masterpieces in. I just purchased another copy to give as a wedding/shower gift for a young couple.

Summary: They even got the Singapore Sling right!
Comment: This bartender guide is both colorful and full of photos. It's not also reasonable organized but has color codes for the different types of drinks (Gin, Vodka, etc.) to make it easy to navigate the cocktails. Also, I was happy to see a bartender guide that has the CORRECT Singapore Sling ingredients listed. So many others don't even have the real one used by the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. One thing that makes sense about this book, is that its spiral bound a real plus!
