Party Drinks!: 50 Classic Cocktails and Lively Libations

by A.J. Rathbun

Anyone can host an affair to remember with Party Drinks! This full-color, stylishly contemporary book helps hosts select a signature beverage infused with sophisticated flair. Using reliable recipes and simple tools and instructions, hip drinks are easy to mix up at home, eliminating excuses to stay stuck in that old tonic/soda water rut. Every party-thrower and party-goer will enjoy these classic and new recipes, selected for their great taste, panache, and preparation ease. Whether you're celebrating the first 90-degree day, a first date, or the first night in a new apartment, recipes such as Summer Beer, French 75, and Steaming Spiked Cider ensure that any soiree's beverage of choice has flair, twist, and flourish. A.J. Rathbun covers the essentials of bar equipment, glassware, mixers, and garnishes, as well as what kinds of alcohols and mixers to buy (and how much), from basic to all-out.

[Lauren Kozilski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exclusively for parties, as the title suggests, this book offers more than one twist on a classic.

[Janet · Rating 5 out of 5]

While this book gives you measurements for a large group, it is easy to amend the equations to a single drink or one made for a couple. Lots of the suggestions are easy to make and don't contain lots of unusual ingredients or preparation.
