The Perfect Drink for Every Occasion: 151 Cocktails That Will Freshen Your Breath, Impress a Hot Date, Cure a Hangover, and More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for a good, general selection of drinks and cocktails from which to start your home bar -- and be thoroughly entertained in the bargain -- your search is over! You'll find expert mixology for some standard drinks, along with some little known or forgotten cocktails throughout 2oth Century history, up to a few of the latest, trendy drinks. Sprinkled with historical and cultural references, notable quotes, and just plain fun stuff, you'll enjoy more than a few laughs even before you start sampling recipes! The language is sometimes "R-rated", so the easily offended should step lightly.
The recipes in this book are not categorized alphabetically, but by "When You're In The Mood For...", "Special Occasions", "Drinks For Life Events", etc., which makes it supremely useful. There is an alphabetical index, plus an index by main spirit ingredient.
I laughed out loud at several spots; by far the most hilarious and entertaining mixology book I've ever encountered!

Mr. Boston Platinum Edition: 1,500 Recipes, Tools, and Techniques for the Master Mixologist Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was originally looking for a "regular" Mr. Boston book to arm myself with drink recipes for the occasional entertaining my wife and I do at our home. The book had been recommended to me by several friends as being the best bar guide available so I came to Amazon to begin my search. It was here I discovered Mr. Boston Platinum Edition. I ordered the book, it arrived quickly and I'm very impressed.
The book contains a lot more information than just drink recipes. It is an intersesting read and I was surprised to see a history of the origin of a lot of popular drinks. I love a good Manhattan and now I know the city, the "inventor" and the bar where this drink was developed. I also know the difference in the ingredients, what makes whiskey bourbon, rye, etc.
Many of the drinks in Mr. Boston have variations and they are listed with the reasons for the differences. I even know why a drink should be either shaken or stirred.
What I really like besides all the recipes is the section on essential home bar equipment. I have already looked at the web sites suggested in the book and started to order the equipment I need to outfit our new home bar.
The recipes have been contributed by many professional "mixologists" and it is evident that they take pride in their profession.
The book itself is very nice looking and well constructed. The ringed binder is sturdy and the book lay flat so I can read it while my hands are full of bottles and strainers.
This is the perfect book for me, being a beginner, and I highly recommend it for the home bar owner or for professional bartenter who is interested in the right way or a new way to mix a drink and arming himself with many interesting facts to relate to his customers.
