Mix it up at home, with the most complete bartending coverage anywhere! Start with a world-renowned expert's unequalled instructions for preparing virtually any cocktail. Pour in an encyclopaedia of information about every drink, from gin and rum to champagne and wine to punches and a barful more. Mix with Calabrese's recipes for 780 favourites and new recipes, from classic Negronis to contemporary Cosmopolitans. Stir in a sparkling blend of insider info, colour photos, and visual history. Garnish with live-action pictorials of dozens of techniques, icons for the proper glasses, and a concealed lay-flat spiral binding.
