5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding beginner's guide July 16 2004
Format:Spiral-bound
This is an incredibly useful and beautiful book. I was a complete novice at mixing drinks and this book is filled with tasty, easy to follow recipes that are turning me into a pro. It has all the classics as well as numerous drinks that I've never heard of but am now anxious to try. The text is very engaging as well as informative and the photography is beautiful. Best of all this book is spiral bound which makes it easy to use if, like me, you only have two hands. All how-to books should be like this.

Format:Spiral-bound
This book is fantastic. I love the way it organizes drinks according to type: vodka, rum, etc... It also gives you lots of basics on how to set up a bar from glasses, to terms, to techniques. The thing I love the best is that for each drink it not only tells you how to prepare it but there is also a little picture on the side that tells you which type of glass to serve it in and how to garnish. A great find!!

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys entertaining or just wants to impress their friends with great drinks!
