- dont know where to look!
I bought this book becuase of the good reviews but I dont really rate this at all. If you don't know the cocktails by name you haven't got a hope finding them. It would of been easier if they were catagorised by spirits, ie gin, vodka, that way you could easily look up the different cocktails to make, but unfortunately they are listed by glasses used and in alphabetical order which really doesn't help.

- Cheers!
Following the buzz around the release of the Sex In The City film, I bought a couple of copies of this book as birthday presents for girlfriends, to accompany designer cocktail glasses.
It's a thorough and informative compendium and you certainly wouldn't need to own another cocktail book if you had this one on your book shelves, but I - personally - like more photos (so I know what end look I'm aiming for!).
However, I AM looking forward to sampling many of the 1000 suggested concoctions around at my chums houses over the years to come... cheers!! hic!!!

- If you only buy one cocktail book...
...buy this one. There are no pretty pictures, but it offers a no-frills approach to mixing cocktails. Ingredients, method, glass, garnish and alcohol units are given for each recipe. The glossary of spirits is very good and the index is the best of any cocktail book I've come across. There are other books that offer more exotic fare, but this book covers all the basics and then some.

- It's OK ... but not all that
This book does exactly what it says on the cover and that is give you 1000 cocktail recipes.... but not a lot more than that. It is clearly laid out but dull. You need this book in your house hold in the same way as you need a drain un-blocker. It's very very useful but not very pretty.

- The perfect mix
If you want a no-frills guide to a huge range of cocktails, this book really delivers. As well as the basic terminology (types of glass, essential equipment etc) it provides brief descriptions of most spirits, gives an indication as to how "tasty" each coctail is, an indication of the alcohol content and a short summary of where it originated.

The indexes are also really useful, listing cocktails by name or by main ingredient... Found a bottle of Creme De Cassis at the back of the cupboard? Just flick through the "index by ingredients" for some inspiration on how best to get rid of it!

All-in-all one of the best general cocktail recipe books I've come across.

My only change would be to print it on splash-proof ... Read More:
