The Bartender's Collection

Why we like it

A proper cocktail book should make you want to put on something decent, polish the glasses and invite people over. This one does. With more than 300 recipes drawn from the golden age of cocktails, it moves from aperitifs and martinis through champagne drinks, digestifs and nightcaps, with plenty of useful advice on the art of entertaining along the way.
