The Complete Cocktail Guide

"The Complete Cocktail Guide" is the ultimate guide to the glamorous world of mixed drinks. As a type of drink, the cocktail's origins are lost in the mists of time. Quite simply, the birth of the cocktail was the first time somebody decided to mix a base spirit with another ingredient. From a Dry Martini to a creamy Brandy Alexander or a fruity Daquiri, there is a cocktail to suit everyone's taste, and they don't even have to contain alcohol. This is not a professional bartender's guide, but a lavishly illustrated, 400-page celebration for the keen amateur, the adventurous drinker who is not afraid to try new experiences with a wide range of exotic ingredients.
