The Home Bartender: 125 Cocktails Made with Four Ingredients or Less

Really nice reference book. Easy to use and read. Great illustrations. Caused me to make a few more trips to the liquor store! Also, opened the door to experimentation with additional ingredients. Important to use at home and not drive afterwards. Limit drinks to three or less per day. Seek help if you get too carried away with the use of these recipes! Probably not going to be a popular book at Alcoholics Anonymous members!

I loved the book cause it so well made and the recipes they all perfect a master piece to have in your house/bar/ whatever

I like the pictures and think this is a great bar book. My husband likes picking the recipes. The number of ingredients are a huge plus. Only gripe is the high end and cheaper version for the liquors. Just kind of a waste of page space.

Purchased this as a Father's Day gift and it was big hit. Great book, nice quality and shipped quickly.

We recently decided to re-set up our home bar. My husband has long been a beer drinker, but enjoys whiskey, gin occasionally. I've been a teetotaler since shortly after we married mainly because of kids. I've always preferred cocktails since I taste alcohol strongly. But cocktails get expenses outside or inside the home. Recently though we decided we wanted a legit bar in the house (2 of our 3 kids are legal age drinkers now themselves).I remembered some of the cocktails I used to enjoy, and therefore what liquors to buy. I still had my old cocktail guide books. However, I found the books overwhelming - for that matter, the liquor stores. Vodka used to have a shelf or two, not a row! I decided to buy a couple books with far fewer recipes (though if you want a lot, I highly recommend The Bartender's Bible by Gary Regan).This book was one of 2 I bought. I haven't made anything from the recipes yet, though the recipes I'm familiar with look as they should. I do wish I'd bought this before we started stocking the bar as it gives a nice list at the front of what you need, what is nice to have, and etc for liquor, bar tools, glassware, and mixers. I do love that the book is pretty. I'm visual so far more likely to chose a drink by the photo. It looks as though there will he plenty of drinks to occupy us for a while, and that's good. It's also small enough, I'm not overwhelmed. I only have 2 complaints. One, as someone else said, the varieties on the drinks are a bit of a joke. For instance, there is the classic gin and tonic, then the budget gin and tonic, then the perfect gin and tonic. The only difference really is the brand of gin, and yes the book specifies a brand in each recipe. It'd be less annoying if there wasn't a handy list at the front of the book showing you the recommended classic, budget and perfect brand of each of the main liquors. Often the only other variety offered is the Virgin version. Yet there is also a non-alcoholic section at the back (I didn't notice of it has the same recipes as the rest of the book has scattered throughout). My other complaint is the cover says 4 ingredients or less and yet it's rarely true of a recipe. I guess if you only count the alcohol components as ingredients it's 4 or less, but personally I count juices, sodas, garnishes, etc as ingredients. That said, none of the recipes are long lists of ingredients. Plus the ingredients are relatively common.I would recommend the book, especially if you are starting out.

I like that it shows drinks that have ingredients you will have. Not things you have never heard of or that cost a fortune!

This set is very colorful and was the perfect gift for my daughters 21st birthday. She loves it.

If you need to look up something or need an alternative cocktail recipe, this book will suit your needs. It's not an encyclopedia and if fairly limited in scope. But for the price, it makes a good supplement to our wet bar area.

Muuy buen producto, lo recomiendo para su precio y calidad

I was expecting more exotic type drinks... but lots of sweet tropical types. A cute thing to have but not a must.

Me pareció buen producto, pero venían todas hojas maltratadas, por la parte superior.

Great book. I love how the first few pages tells you what bottles, tools, condiments you need so you know what to buy when your at the store. Im a newb so this is important. I just took pictures of those pages and it made buying stuff easy when i was out. Unfortunately the corners are damaged. Im not sure if this is from the seller. Im pretty sure this is from amazon when they packed it. The book was shipped in a much bigger box with no peanuts or bubble wrap inside the box to cushion it from being banged around. Im not too happy with that. It may be better to buy books from a local store next time to make sure its in good quality when you take it home.

I really like this book but I'm disappointed that it arrived damaged.
