Following the detailed instructions of skilled bartenders, everyone will be able to duplicate these 260 recipes at home. The recipes are divided into four different themes: evergreen cocktails (such as the Hugo and Tequila Sunrise), happy hour (such as the Beethoven and Margarita), after-dinner (such the Alexander and B-52), and trendy cocktails. For each drink, the book offers readers the perfect proportions of ingredients, the best techniques, and the nutritional information about calories and alcohol content.
