Great beginner book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cocktails for Wimps: Shake, Blend & Serve the Coolest Cocktails (Paperback)
This is not a "cocktail bible." There are other books like Dale Degroff's that fill that slot. Instead, this is a fabulous picture book for beginners. If you get frustrated with how-to books with confusing written instructions, this is the coctail book for you.

A nice addition to any collection,
By Sheri Ann Johnson "paperback_princess" (Tampa Bay, FL, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cocktails for Wimps: Shake, Blend & Serve the Coolest Cocktails (Paperback)
This book contained a lot of recipes that I have not heard before, some real show stoppers! It gets into how to properly "layer" different liqueurs to create the "wow" effect. It has colored pictures to help you master the layering techniques. Any drink mixer would be proud to add this book to his collection.

This review is from: Cocktails for Wimps: Shake, Blend & Serve the Coolest Cocktails (Paperback)
I bought this several years ago at a book fair at work and just bought another one for my sister-in-law. Most of the drinks are fairly simple and it has beautiful pictures and easy instructions. My friends love choosing drinks from it. Note: if you're looking for guava juice, Wholefoods has it in juice boxes.
