Review: A perfect gift! - The first half of the book is history and information and the back half is all different recipes. The recipes come with a blurb about that variation of the drink and there are lots of pictures for presentation. There is an index in the back to quickly browse or to find a favorite. It's incredible to see how many different variations there are! I don't like whiskey at all but there are a lot of recipes that are with brandy or gin or something else! My roommate is a bartender and she enjoyed going through it and made a few comment about how you could substitute name brand cherries or bitters if you're not ready to make the jump to ordering several different kinds right away. I bought this a gift for my boyfriend who recently got a customized monogramed decanter and glasses set as a groomsman gift and he was ecstatic to try new recipes with all of them. He's using it as a coffee table book in the mean time and guests have enjoyed flipping through it and it's a great conversation starter. I highly recommend getting this book for yourself or for a loved one.
Review: THE Old Fashioned book. - THE old fashioned book. Great history and stories, along with classic, modern classics and riffs on the iconic cocktail.
