Very interesting back stories, delicious results. *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020* I ordered two cocktail books. This one is by far the better one. It lists great cocktails with simple to follow directions and fabulous backstories. I had no idea real grenadine was a pomegranate product! This is improving our knowledge and mixology skill set, plus helping us endure the covid self isolation. We miss our favorite bars, but we are saving a bundle by making cocktails ourselves.We are planning on buying copies of this for some of our friends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Just starting out on the mixology journey *by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2009* I decided it was time to start finding some more things I'd like to drink other than the 3 things I order at every bar. So I checked a bunch of books on bar tending out of the library. This is by far my favorite so I bought a copy to keep. First, it has a lot of the classic drinks that you'd get at a bar and also lots of others and all the drinks I've made so far are really great. Second, the photos are super - I pick half the drinks just by their looks alone. Third, the stories with each drink just add another layer of fun. I didn't expect to learn anything about the history of cocktails in America, but I have and it's been really fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The BEST!! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019* Dale DeGroff is the master and a sort of "original" in the craft cocktail re-emergence. Sure, cocktails were around before Dale, but few in history have put together a more instructive book. Good photos and historic comments make for a fun read and good insight on why a cocktail might be a good one for you. Though I have a dozen or so other cocktail books to which I refer, this is by far the one I "go-to" the most. If I had to have just one cocktail book, this is it. I have one of these in each of my houses. I have purchased and gifted this book several times to my cocktail/mixology friends. You can't go wrong with this one. Cheers!
