Legendary Cocktails

Designed for anyone interested in mixing their own special drink, this guide is for those who enjoy mixing exotic concoctions at home for their friends and family, and also for professional bartenders. It provides a brief overview of the history of cocktails and features a selection of world-famous bars and the bartenders with whom they are associated. The reader will also find recipes for more than 140 classic and modern cocktails and mixed drinks made from a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic ingredients. Advice is given on how to stock a bar, what equipment and glasses to use, how to mix a successful cocktail and - for those who practise rather too enthusiastically - how to cure a hangover.
