This would be a great book for someone really interested in learning how to make a variety of classic cocktails. The history of some that was included was interesting. It would be a good gift for someone who just added a bar to their home. I gave it a three because for me, there were a lot of drinks with ingredients I'd never purchase to just use one time at home.

Great cocktail book! Takes you through all the classics, but builds off of them into riffs that allow you to spin it slightly. Also has advanced level tutorials where you can learn how to fat wash, make your own bitters, infuse liqueurs, etc. Really enjoyed this, got lots of inspiration for my own cocktail making.

Very well written cocktail book, lots of basic recipes and then lots of how-tos for more complicated endeavors.
