    I purchased this for my brother who likes to host parties at his home. He doesn’t drink alcohol, so I needed a book that had mock tails in it which this one does have it gives you great ideas so that way you can tweak the recipes to your own liking after understanding the difference and the ingredients and their purpose. Overall, it has some pretty good recipes to start off with that are pretty easy and then goes into other recipes that take more time for the more experienced pallet.

    I originally bought this to display for looks at my wet bar, but once I got to looking at the drinks I quickly was able to pick out a few I wanted to try. As someone who has never measured things before, it’s handy to know the correct portions for specific drinks. The recipes are sorted by liquors and each one has a good number of options to select from.

    This is a handy dandy book to have! If you would like to make an alcoholic beverage and not sure what to make you can just flip to a page and make one of the many recipes offered in this book. There are also some recipes that are different if you’re looking to try something new new. Also the recipes are broken up by alcoholic bases so if you’re looking for a bev with a vodka base you can just flip to those pages (you can refer to my picture to better understand what I’m trying to say :) The recipes are very easy to follow, definitely beginner friendly
