Around the World in 80 Cocktails Hardcover – October 3, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
You'll learn about the surprising military history behind the bubbly, vivacious Venetian Spritz; how the G&T moved from India to England (and why the best in the world are now made in Spain); and how France's Burgundy region turned tragedy into triumph with the Kir. Accompanied by gorgeous vintage-style illustrations that evoke antique travel posters, these stories and recipes are an ode to the joys of travel, history, and drinking.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022Bought 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.

Very vibrant illustrations and really fun and well rounded descriptions of each of the places it mentions. Recipes are straightforward. I’m almost jealous I didn’t get it for myself.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018Creative book with yummy “sound sing” recipes. The only downside is that most of the recipes have really unique ingredients that you’d never have handy or want to invest in.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024Great gift

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book to give as a gift.
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter who loves making cocktails. She was thrilled with the book. The cocktails are easy to follow and there are plenty of tips in the book for making great cocktails. The book is excellent quality and the illustrations are very attractive.
I would recommend this book as an excellent stocking filler or birthday gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just brilliant!
Illustrations are beautiful. Great background text for each cocktail- it's got all the main ones plus some fun extras. Easy instructions. Look no further than this book, it makes a great gift and looks more expensive than it is.
