Great Book for gifting
This is a great book to add to your personal collection or to gift to someone. I got this for my dad recently and he absolutely loves it! There’s so many great recipes and fun facts.

Fun to Explore
We have made several recipes since getting this book and there are a number of recipes we plan on trying! The “problem” is, they have been so good that we get hooked on one for awhile and have to remind ourselves to try another!Plus the pictures are beautiful and inviting!I definitely recommend this book.

Learn new drinks very quickly before a party
You could use your phone, you could Google or YouTube recipes. But having this on a bookshelf or just simply out in front of yourself as you mix drinks and watch a movie on your phone instead, is honestly better. People see books and go dang this person knows something, people see nothing but magazines and adult literature and go dang I need to make a lie and leave in 20 minutes, got to make sure people remember seeing me before I leave and tell everyone the same lie so it matches up with the host of this party if I don't see them.

Lack of variety, not user friendly, 75% marketing, 25% substance
Not user friendly:A good cocktail book has an index by word (aka you can look up ‘woodford’ or ‘bourbon’ or ‘sour’) AND A SEPARATE index by ingredient (aka you can look up ‘lemon’ or ‘Cointreau’ or ‘angostura’). This book has only one index, and it’s a very bad one. There are at least six different ‘Manhattan’ cocktails listed in the index (‘Black Manhattan,’ ‘Classic Manhattan,’ ‘Gentleman’s Manhattan,’ ‘Makers Mark Manhattan,’ ‘Shane’s Perfect Manhattan,’ ‘Spring Manhattan’). None of these are filed under ‘Manhattan’ (what?!!). All are filed in the index as separate drinks - under B, C, G, M, S, S, in reference to the proprietary/literal names listed above. Any normal index would help its reader more than this.Phrased differently; who on earth looks in their liquor cabinet and says, ‘well, I have Woodford Reserve, so I am going to look up a cocktail that stars with ‘W’???This example also explains why there is a lack of variety in the cocktails; why do I need 6 Manhattan cocktails? I 100% appreciate that there is some difference when you add this whiskey or that (if i didn’t, I wouldn’t have 40+ different bourbons in my cabinet) but they shouldn’t be filed as different cocktails, in totally different sections of the book. All of the above is also true for, say, ‘Old Fashioned.’ If I buy a 100 page book, I would not wish 20 of the pages to be recipes for old fashioneds or manhattans (note, 20 is a guess, I did not actually count).Half or more of the pages are pictures of cocktails. Great. Not what I’m paying money for. As mentioned, other pages are repeat cocktails. Hence, roughly 75% marketing. 25% substance in my estimation.The internet is good for infinite things but also bad for infinite things. I can Google ‘whiskey cocktails’ and get some winners, but also get a lot of losers. I was hoping this book would be a CURATED list of cocktails to save me from Google. I was VERY disappointed. Sifting through the endless list of Google results will actually yield better results for BOTH the amateur and expert cocktail drinkers.
