Customer Reviews

Funny and Tasty!

The cocktails are really delish. Plus I loved the retro design and sensibility of the book. Great hostess gift

Awesome Gift Book!

Almost everyone loves a good cocktail and this book is a fun & inventive way to spruce up your holiday drinks. Instead of just opening a bottle of wine try the ligonberry and proscecco concoction! Genius!

Perfect hostess gift or holiday gift for the office

I picked up a bunch of these books as holiday gifts for my co-workers and then liked it so much I kept a copy for myself! When you get past the wonderful nostalgic pictures and the hilarious vignettes, you'll find some really great (and sometimes unusual) drink recipes. A friend of mine made the "Hot Toddy" and brought it to our annual tree cutting festivity - delicious!!!

The perfect hostess gift!

Not only is this a great little cocktail book filled with delicious drink recipes, it's the perfect gift to bring to all of your holiday parties. Filled with great vintage photos and short, clever musings, Peterson takes the reader on a hilarious trip back to the recent past. And as for the drinks, try the Hot and Smoky Bloody Mary or "The Hair of the Pit Bull" as Peterson dubs it. Soooo good! Is it noon yet?

Very Fun Holiday Gift Idea

This is a very funny book with lot's of great, old photos. Would make a cute hostess or grab gift for the holidays. Also some fun drink ideas for holiday get-togethers. I have a copy on my coffee table, and I've already given a few copies to friends. Everyone is getting a kick out of it, and planning what drink they're going to make for the next party.
