Cocktails

Author: James A Butler

Cocktails is the definitive guide to entertaining with mixed drinks. It includes more than 100 recipes—ranging from the traditional to the exotic. Renowned bartender James Butler and celebrated food stylist Vicki Liley cover all the basics: from the essentials of a well-stocked bar, to fundamental glassware, shakers, and jiggers, to the latest trends in mixology. And their tips on technique—the proper way to shake, stir, blend, or build a cocktail or how to add the finishing touches—will turn anybody into a master of spirits. Ideas for hors d'oeuvres and a handful of non-alcoholic drinks are included. Fully illustrated, and in full color, this handbook to the wonderful world of cocktails will delight both the eye—and the palate.
