Why on earth would you organize a book of drinks alphabetically? I don't know what drinks are called! I just know what kind of bottles I have in the cabinet! Totally unusable book。 Why on earth would you organize a book of drinks alphabetically? I don't know what drinks are called! I just know what kind of bottles I have in the cabinet!

This type of book didn't work well as an ebook。 The content feels static and isn't engaging。 The recipes and purpose of the book is worth seeking out, just in a paper format。 This type of book didn't work well as an ebook。 The content feels static and isn't engaging。 The recipes and purpose of the book is worth seeking out, just in a paper format。 。。。more

This is a beautiful books with good, interesting recipes that are a mix of classic and specific (as in specific name-brand alcohols)。 But, and this is a huge BUT, when you are getting ready to make a drink and you're not sure what you want, this book is very hard to use。 When I am deciding on what I want to make, I usually pick a base liquor to start with, or if I have grapefruits on hand, I'll use those。 But the way this book is organized (alphabetically) it is almost impossible to choose a rec This is a beautiful books with good, interesting recipes that are a mix of classic and specific (as in specific name-brand alcohols)。 But, and this is a huge BUT, when you are getting ready to make a drink and you're not sure what you want, this book is very hard to use。 When I am deciding on what I want to make, I usually pick a base liquor to start with, or if I have grapefruits on hand, I'll use those。 But the way this book is organized (alphabetically) it is almost impossible to choose a recipe by starting with an ingredient。 You then have to look through every single recipe looking for one that works。 And the index is really hit or miss on whether it has drinks under certain ingredients。 If the editors of this book would make a more thorough index, it would make using this book so much better and more usable。 。。。more

This is a beautiful coffee table book with many many recipes and an extensive glossary (the best I've come across in cocktail guides)。 The drawbacks for me were the organization of cocktails (purely alphabetical) which makes it harder to use if you just want to peruse drinks by category。 Also, many of the ingredients are unique, super specific spirits, which you're not likely to have on hand。 This is a beautiful coffee table book with many many recipes and an extensive glossary (the best I've come across in cocktail guides)。 The drawbacks for me were the organization of cocktails (purely alphabetical) which makes it harder to use if you just want to peruse drinks by category。 Also, many of the ingredients are unique, super specific spirits, which you're not likely to have on hand。 。。。more

This revised edition of the 2002 Craft of the Cocktail is a fascinating read with sections on the craft of the cocktail, the recipes and tales associated with the recipes, and resources for more information about mixing drinks and what's needed to make them。 I was intrigued with the history of the cocktail and how they were named。 Who knew there could be 500 recipes? This is an excellent book for bartenders, for those that entertain and mix drinks for their guests, and a novice like me, needing This revised edition of the 2002 Craft of the Cocktail is a fascinating read with sections on the craft of the cocktail, the recipes and tales associated with the recipes, and resources for more information about mixing drinks and what's needed to make them。 I was intrigued with the history of the cocktail and how they were named。 Who knew there could be 500 recipes? This is an excellent book for bartenders, for those that entertain and mix drinks for their guests, and a novice like me, needing recipes for mixing drinks。 I walked down memory lane during my college days, my 20s, and my 30s。 I came across recipes for those drinks I've had。 I think this is an excellent addition to one's cookbook collection for those wanting to learn to mix drinks and know the names and history of these cocktails。 I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review。 。。。more

This book is an updated and revised version of the original "The Craft of the Cocktail," which was published in 2002。 It is an encyclopedia about the cocktail, this very American creation that found a revival and revolution at the new millennium。 All topics are covered: the history of the cocktail, tools and glassware used, ingredients for your bar, and of course, recipes。 This is a must-have for novices and experts alike, whether you want to try and experiment on your own or impress your friend This book is an updated and revised version of the original "The Craft of the Cocktail," which was published in 2002。 It is an encyclopedia about the cocktail, this very American creation that found a revival and revolution at the new millennium。 All topics are covered: the history of the cocktail, tools and glassware used, ingredients for your bar, and of course, recipes。 This is a must-have for novices and experts alike, whether you want to try and experiment on your own or impress your friends and family。 I have tried some traditional as well as some new (for me, anyway) recipes from this book: Pimm's Cup, Moscow Mule, Colorado Bulldog, Mark Twain Cocktail。 All were fantastic。 This is one to leave out for guests to peruse during a gathering。 It would make a party even more entertaining。 A great gift idea, especially for a housewarming!I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review。 。。。more
