Customer Reviews

Have to make your own simple syrups and infused liquors.

I love watermelon sangria and was glad to see a recipe for it in this book. But as some of the other reviewers stated you have to make your own simple syrups first. For this drink you had to make a simple syrup and then spend 24 hours infusing it with orange zest and lemon zest strips. Not something you can just whip up to have after a BBQ. Another recipe called for velvet falernum. What the heck is that? I looked all over my liquor store and couldn't find it. Many of the recipes require unusual liquors and I don't want to spend $$ buying one bottle of special liquor and only have this one recipe to use it in. If you're looking for a "exotic" drink recipe then just go to [...] and you can find any drink you want free and save yourself on this book.

Drinks for Drink Lovers

I'm a bartender and I'm always trying to get inventive with my cocktails. Point is, this is the definitive series of books for people who would love to learn how to make the best drinks being served at the hottest restaurants today. Food and Wine has gone to the hottest restaurants and bars in the most exciting culinary cities and have gotten a recipe for some of their best drinks. If you want a book that tells you how to make a cosmo, get the Savoy Cocktail book. If you're tired of the boring drinks with no pictures in the Savoy, its time to trade up for these books. Gorgeous pictures, fun backstory and a virtual compendium of those drinks that are $18 at fancy hidden bars, this is a must have for any and all looking to impress themselves and their friends. Enjoy!
