My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I wanted this because I love making cocktails and learning about them. I have bartended before. I love how it was broken up into different parts and different parts of the days. The part about making a few kinds of syrup simples. That is something that I have not see in a cocktail book. Normally they only have the basic simple syrup but this one has different flavors. I put some of these recipes into my recipes book that I keep things I want to remember. I don’t drink often but there are a couple of the vodka drinks I would like to try.
My Rating of the Book: 5 Stars
