Fun and Informative
Bought this as a Christmas present for my husband who wanted to experiment more with the cocktails. Since we travelled a lot I figured it would serve as a fun memento to a few drinks we’ve had abroad. Absolutely love the history facts attached to either specific ingredients found in the cocktail, how the name came to be, or alcohol fun fact about that country. Some of the drinks have unique ingredients that you may not use often but are still fun to try, so that’s the only downfall (refer to pic of Martinez drink). A recommended in-text substitution would help but that’s nothing a quick Google search can’t fix. The cover is also really pretty and makes for a fun conversation piece. Very happy with the purchase overall.
