Review Quotes:
"I got this as a Christmas gift for my sister in law who wanted to learn more about mixology, as well as pairing this with some cocktail mixers and tools this was the perfect gift! I was actually surprised at the size of the book as it is rather small but when I read through it myself I really enjoyed the recipes & writing style! As soon as she got back from all of the holiday travel she tried out a recipe and really enjoyed it! I think it is a great book & gift for the starting mixologist!" -- Customer Review

Review Quotes:
"A book that comes real handy to get ready for a party or greeting your guests with a punch bowl. Easy to read, clear recipes and quite a bit of explaining about different drinks. Highly recommend it to any soon-to-be-mixologist!" -- Customer Review

Review Quotes:
"There are plenty of books out there on how to mix drinks. But there's one thing about this book in particular that stands out. As someone who himself used to tend bar long ago, I thought the collection of drink recipes were good. I also liked that they break down everything from glasses to different techniques. But what I thought was really cool about the book was that they include a lot of fun facts. And that's something you just never come across in other handy bartender guides. I got this in particular for my wife, so when her girlfriends come over, she can have fun and be more creative than just putting together the usual drinks." -- Customer Review

Review Quotes:
"I am impressed with this book, it has pretty much everything you need to not just help you make the actual drink but it also informs you about the logistics of properly prepping for multiple drinks. Definitely a must have for people who like to entertain or beginner bartenders." -- Customer Review
