[Just - The romance reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of the many books I've purchased and NOT gotten much use out of. But there are tons of recipes, and if you make a lot of mixed drinks then you will have no shortage of ideas from this book. There is a recipe for pretty much any drink you want.

This was a fantastic cocktail and bar book. There are so many recipes listed. It would be essential to knowing what drinks to make for your guests.
