Customer Reviews

lovely illustrations, difficult recipes

I admit I bought this book because the illustrations were so lovely, but will probably use a few of the drink recipes. The book is better for someone who has some experience in mixology because the recipes involve things like infusions as well as hard-to-find ingredients. I'm happy with the pictures, but others might be frustrated by the lack of in-depth directions.
