Here's to a Great Book about Drinking
Rating:
5 / 5
I got this book so I could figure out how to make a mint julip for a Derby Day party. We had so much fun, we decided to work our way through a few of the other recipes. Let me recommend the Chocotini -- chocolate liqueur and cocoa. Almost better than sex. Meanwhile, the cosmopolitan, which gets a lot of attention on Sex and the City, is sweet and girlish for a woman who usually drinks scotch neat. Anyway, if you're looking for basic bartending instructions or just a good time, I recommend this book.
Bottoms up!

There's lots more in this book than just recipes--great info on giving a cocktail party, etc. I especially liked the author's personal touch--like the stories about her younger days and learning that there's more to drink out there than just "house wine" or beer. Good appetizer recipes, too.
A Great Gift

Someone just gave me this book as a gift and it was a great surprise. It's almost as much fun to read as to make a party around. It's funny and packed with terrific drinks. Try the high-octane Havana Delight. It's like a Frappaccino...only much better!
