Difford's Encylopedia of Cocktails, Jan 14 2010
By Thomas Oslund "The Only Spencer" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Difford's Encyclopedia of Cocktails: 2600 Recipes (Hardcover)
Difford's Encyclopedia of Cocktails is perhaps the finest bar book I own out of at least a dozen others. It is beautifully presented in color with the finest paper and the photography is second to none. There are 2600 different drinks to choose from.The drink recipes are clear and consice, from the type of glassware, the garnishes, even the amount of ice to use. There is no guessing on weather the drink should be shaken, stirred, layered, muddled, or served on the rocks.
The dictionary section lists are extensive, even giving the history of the specific types described. No, you do not have to be a professional mixologist to understand the book, and it deserves a five star rating.

Difford's cocktails is a great reference, showing not only how to make the drinks but what they should look like. Just seeing the pictures makes me thirsty. The encyclopedia is comprehensive and easy to follow.

cross referencing by type of alcohol would be nice, Feb 7 2011

This review is from: Difford's Encyclopedia of Cocktails: 2600 Recipes (Hardcover)
cross referencing by type of alcohol would be nice - if you could look up by the main type of alcohol you need. And not so many exotic types of ingredients needed. A bit overwhelming...
Listmania!
