This dazzling edition is the perfect antidote to the grey February blahs one must slog through on the way to spring. Turn page after page of heady cocktails and eagerly anticipate balmy evenings and pitcher drinks on the porch. Brilliant photos of the drinks themselves are interspersed with displays of classic and retro glassware and bar accessories. Besides the tried-and-true sours, spritzers, and highballs, discover new variations on the margarita, martini, and bellini, and why not a little blue curiosity called "Shampoo"?

A favourite reference book of mine. My copy has been thoroughly tagged up. Great photos too.
