Gin Vodka Tequila : 150 Contemporary and Classic Cocktails

Gin, vodka and tequila make fantastic base spirits for cocktails - sophisticated, easy to mix, lower in calories than many other drinks, and usually gentler on the head (due to their clear colour). In this unique book dedicated to the three key base ingredients, each spirit has its own chapter offering a superb range of old-school favourites alongside the most contemporary mixes around. Also interspersed throughout are 10 "feature" cocktails - traditional and modern classics, from the Bramble to the Bloody Mary; the Tom Collins to the Tequila Sunrise - complete with fascinating background information on their invention and history. With 150 of the world's best cocktails, plus at-a-glance symbols to denote alcohol content and suggested glass type, as well as a fact-packed introduction to ingredients, equipment and techniques. Gin Vodka Tequila offers a simple, no-nonsense approach to rustling up something extra special, whatever the occasion. Book jacket.
