Whether you want to throw a great party or spice up an ordinary evening with a special drink, Cook Cocktails will provide all the inspiration you need. Ben Reed, London's hippest, hottest mixologist, offers a delicious range of recipes for almost 100 classic and contemporary cocktails (arranged by spirit), as well as practical advice on equipment and glasses. Why not start the evening with a classic aperitif - a dry Martini, a sparkling Bellini, or an ice-cold Margarita? Or if you want to surprise your guests with something a little more adventurous, then mix up one of Ben's great original creations - a Bramble, a Cranilla Martini, or a Purple Haze. With stunning photography by William Lingwood and Ben's wise and witty words, Cool Cocktails will have you reaching for the crushed ice and cocktail shaker on a regular basis. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Cocktail bookBeautiful book for the price. It made a very nice Christmas gift. I wanted to keep it for myself and I'm sorry I didn't order more!! Rating: - Cool BookBought it for my sister-in-law as a birthday gift to go with some snazzy cocktail glasses and a pitcher. Plenty of beautiful pictures that might temp you into being an alcoholic! Well, maybe more adventurous in trying many of the obscure liquors out there. Rating:  - The pictures alone make my mouth water...Hey, so just looking at the pictures just makes me want to get trashed. And it is very easy to, as author Ben Reed gives you the necessary steps to making these delectable drinks. The pictures alone make the book worthwhile. And even though mine don't look like that, none of my guests ever care, because its whats IN the drink, not what's on the OUTside of it. So, thanks Will for the pictures. And thanks to you Benny, for being a great bartender. A great book, highly recommended. Rating: - A lovely book, beautiful photographs...A beautifully photographed and laid out book that has some wonderfully good recipes. This book is so "pretty" you'll want to display it. I had this one out on my coffee table for a while. It is a lovely thin hardback that fits on top of any other books that you may already have on your table. The main downside that I may mention though, is that this book is more modern, "trendy" cocktails. If looking for more of a traditional cocktail book I would advise the quirky book "Atomic Cocktails" or the ...

The drinks look better when you make them and are very good! I definitley would recommed this book for anyone who loves to have cocktail parties. Your guests will keep coming back. I would tell them to bring their own glass as a gift....and you could serve them a variety of drinks....it is a great book for the person that has no idea how to make cool cocktails.
