75 classic cocktails done well。 That’s it！ That’s the review！ Faith Hingey organizes what could be just another cocktail recipe book into something useful and down-to-earth that every novice home bartender should include in their resources。 With pictures and easy to understand recipes， broken down by main ingredient and the classics， made me want to expand my bartending skills。The only thing I would add as a drawback is that I read this on a Kindle and you definitely lose the aesthetics of this 75 classic cocktails done well。 That’s it！ That’s the review！ Faith Hingey organizes what could be just another cocktail recipe book into something useful and down-to-earth that every novice home bartender should include in their resources。 With pictures and easy to understand recipes， broken down by main ingredient and the classics， made me want to expand my bartending skills。The only thing I would add as a drawback is that I read this on a Kindle and you definitely lose the aesthetics of this book and the pictures in that。 I would absolutely recommend picking this up in “real life”。Thank you to NetGalley， Zeitgeist， and Faith Hingey for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Good book on making basic cocktails。 As the author notes these are very “Booze Forward。” I appreciate the author give some history of each drink， and that the ingredients are limited and fairly common。 I made the lemon drop and it was delicious。 Great reference for any bar。 Would make a great gift for a housewarming or bridal shower。 Recommend

I am on a streak of reading books on cocktails， and this one ranks among the best of them。 The chapters of the book are arranged by spirit with chapters featuring gin， brandy and whiskey among others。 Within each chapter there are a balanced assortment of recipes for cocktails that can easily be made at home， along with clear photos of each cocktail。 The book is complete with an introduction on tools， techniques and glassware。 I will highly recommend this to readers who are looking for an introd I am on a streak of reading books on cocktails， and this one ranks among the best of them。 The chapters of the book are arranged by spirit with chapters featuring gin， brandy and whiskey among others。 Within each chapter there are a balanced assortment of recipes for cocktails that can easily be made at home， along with clear photos of each cocktail。 The book is complete with an introduction on tools， techniques and glassware。 I will highly recommend this to readers who are looking for an introduction to making cocktails！Thank you to the publisher， Zeitgeist and NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Recipe books are always hard to rate and review for me。 Since it’s mainly recipes （that I’ll be honest， I haven’t tried） it’s not like I can share too many overall opinions but I can say this - I enjoyed flipping through it！Thanks to NetGalley I got to read an ebook l copy of this and it was quite interesting。 The introduction gave us the necessary insight into the author and the motivations behind the creation of this book。 Each chapter starts with information on how to do something in a way th Recipe books are always hard to rate and review for me。 Since it’s mainly recipes （that I’ll be honest， I haven’t tried） it’s not like I can share too many overall opinions but I can say this - I enjoyed flipping through it！Thanks to NetGalley I got to read an ebook l copy of this and it was quite interesting。 The introduction gave us the necessary insight into the author and the motivations behind the creation of this book。 Each chapter starts with information on how to do something in a way that will create the perfect （or at least very well done） cocktail。 There are even lists of recommended spirits， garnishes and other kitchen staples to have on hand when creating a home bar。 The pictures are also helpful if you aren’t sure what all of the things he’s talking about are。 We also get into the importance of using the proper glass。 Each chapter is something different and when the recipes come around they don’t just include ingredients， but there is a picture， a breakdown of everything from the glass to the garnish， step by step instructions， necessary tools and a background on the drink。 I found that very interesting！ There’s even a section for resources and I love that！If you’re interested in making classic cocktails and doing it well and properly I’d definitely pick this up。 。。。more

I'm not big on alcohol so I showed mom this book and she thought some were instering and gave her ideas。 Which is helpful because my mom works in a bar。 Some of the recipes could be easily changed to how the person wants。 Which is good 。 I'm not big on alcohol so I showed mom this book and she thought some were instering and gave her ideas。 Which is helpful because my mom works in a bar。 Some of the recipes could be easily changed to how the person wants。 Which is good 。 。。。more

If you want to learn how to make the perfect Hemingway Daiquiri but have no idea where to start， this book is for you。 Newbies like me can learn their way around the hardware and the liquor cabinet and even get some trivia on every concoction that will make for decent conversation filler if you ever need it。 Make sure not to skip the introduction， as it contains the core skills you’ll need for the rest of the recipes。 Every recipe also comes with a picture: no need to memorize the name of drinks If you want to learn how to make the perfect Hemingway Daiquiri but have no idea where to start， this book is for you。 Newbies like me can learn their way around the hardware and the liquor cabinet and even get some trivia on every concoction that will make for decent conversation filler if you ever need it。 Make sure not to skip the introduction， as it contains the core skills you’ll need for the rest of the recipes。 Every recipe also comes with a picture: no need to memorize the name of drinks while you're out。。。 Do it like me， and look them up visually！ Cheers！ 。。。more

Nice book with 75 classic recipes of different alcoholic cocktails。 Went through the pages fast， checking what I might want to try out for myself。Don’t have all the necessary things at home but as an inspiration to try out something new - I liked the book。 I don’t drink in general but maybe when I’m in the right mood - I might try something from this book :）Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing eARC in exchange for an honest opinion。

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Great cover on this one！This was actually a surprisingly in depth book about cocktails。 It's broken down into several chapters （The Classics at home， Gin， Whiskey， Brandy， Rum， Other Spirits & Liqueurs） Along with a ton of other information about classic cocktails， setting up a home bar， bartending tools， etc。 The recipes themselves are well laid out and easy to follow。 Plus there are "hints" and "modern twists" sprinkle generously throughout。 The only minor issue I had was that it isn't ⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Great cover on this one！This was actually a surprisingly in depth book about cocktails。 It's broken down into several chapters （The Classics at home， Gin， Whiskey， Brandy， Rum， Other Spirits & Liqueurs） Along with a ton of other information about classic cocktails， setting up a home bar， bartending tools， etc。 The recipes themselves are well laid out and easy to follow。 Plus there are "hints" and "modern twists" sprinkle generously throughout。 The only minor issue I had was that it isn't the most visually pleasing of books。 Yes， there is a photo for every recipe， however， they are not very eye catching or interesting。 Just a single photo of the drink on a plain white background。 I think it would have been more visually pleasing if the photo had at least been the entire page。 🤷🏻♀️**ARC Via NetGalley** 。。。more

I have ALWAYS loved old， classic cocktails and this book is my “Spirit” animal。 I love the background and overview given before launching into the 75 classic recipes。 My friends and I go to a local Supper Club that specializes in classic drinks…this book almost reads like their bartenders guide。 I’m loving it and will be working through these recipes with my friends as we entertain over the next year。 I’m even thinking this may be the best Christmas gift for all them as well。 Its right up our al I have ALWAYS loved old， classic cocktails and this book is my “Spirit” animal。 I love the background and overview given before launching into the 75 classic recipes。 My friends and I go to a local Supper Club that specializes in classic drinks…this book almost reads like their bartenders guide。 I’m loving it and will be working through these recipes with my friends as we entertain over the next year。 I’m even thinking this may be the best Christmas gift for all them as well。 Its right up our alley！ Can’t recommend this book more if you’re into classics as well。 。。。more
