The Cocktail Book

How do you make a Manhattan, a Stinger, or an Old Fashioned?This handy-sized guide introduces you to the art of making these classic and elegant cocktails and includes such favorites as Bloody Mary, White Lady, Side Car and many more; or, for more flamboyant occasions, turn to the section on prize-winning cocktails and try a Harvey Wallbanger or perhaps a cool blue Luisita.

A final section on the uses and origins of the spirits, liqueurs and other ingredients used in cocktails provides a useful complement to the main text. With beautiful illustrations of each individual cocktail, this book will inspire you to try out new and exciting drinks.
