Reviews

[Romysh · Rating 2 out of 5]

"Some of the specs (amounts in ml) are a bit off and some recipes are just way too wrong (mai tai). Moreover the puree is NOT made how it is explained in the book. Also do they really need to mention 'ice cubes' in every recipe? That's pretty much given with every cocktail.
Quite a few mistakes but a beginer could still learn and take away something from this."
