The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails (Second Edition): Over 400 Classic Drink Recipes With Great Writing from The New York Times

This book is incredibly fun! There are tons of recipes and lots of stories. Well put together like most NYT books. Would recommend for drink mixers and enthusiasts alike.

Pleasantly surprised to see that this book is actually much bigger, with more pages than I thought! Granted, I didn't look at the measurements before purchasing since I knew I wanted it either way. It's much thicker than other cocktail books that I have and that's a good thing! Nice cover, nice quality overall, and really some lovely stories throughout. If you enjoy learning about the history of cocktails, hearing about how different parts of the country (and world) enjoy their cocktails, and reading archival material of the New York Times, then this book is for you! I haven't yet had the chance to go through the book in it's entirety, but I plan to sit down with it (possibly with a dirty martini or a crisp Sancerre) and read all the fascinating stories and articles it includes. Overall, much more than a simple cocktail book!

I got this for my friend for Christmas and she loved it! It has really great recipes and overall a good quality book.

Fun and high quality book

The book is informative and filled with great recipes and other info. The only thing I don't like is the index because, for the most part, it is by ingredient instead of drink name.

This is the cutest kitchen book! I have this in the kitchen with a cute little lamp on top and it’s perfect for kitchen decor

This book seems well written with photos and nice history of cocktails

THIS IS A GREAT GIFT FOR THE "HOME GROWN" BARTENDER.
