Love this book!!!

I bought this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift. We love going out and trying new drinks together and exploring our knowledge of cocktails and such. I bought a "bartender beginner" kit including all the basics to make your own cocktail drinks. I included some books, this being one of them, so he could reference them. The retro themed pictures and descriptions first intrigued me but when it arrived, I couldn't have been more happier! I loved it! The pictures were great! Each page has a recipe and a tip or trick for the lifestyle of going out. There are different themes throughout the book, chapters if you will, of the lifestyle, culture, even movie-inspired drinks from back in the day! It was a great book, not only to have in his library but also just to read! I'm even considering buying it when the holiday season rolls around for some other guy friends. 10/10 would recommend.

A fun read

First off, this is a very entertaining book to flip through. I bought it as a stocking stuffer for my husband and we had fun reading through it. That said, we haven't tried any of the drinks in it at this time so I can't really rate it on the recipes. There is a vast assortment of cocktails to try with a lot of fun comments and reading intermixed. The book arrived with some bent pages because of the way it was packaged from Amazon, otherwise very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for my 24 year old nephew. He devoured every word. Highly recommended for the young man who aspires to be a savvy gentleman.

This is a fun and interesting read, and I get to try more cocktails (which is the best part). Be prepared to buy stuff you never heard of before, or maybe I'm just a novice.

Excellent Gift for the Boyfriend
by Leese (5 out of 5 stars)

The cocktail book was exactly what it advertised itself as. Very Mad Men inspired. My boyfriend loved his gift and reading about some history of classic cocktails, the utensils used, proper etiquette, and is excited for a cocktail party we are planning using some tips from the book.
