This is such an exquisite book. I gifted this to both my husband and my brother-in-law for Christmas, but finally sat down to read it myself after tasting a handful of the recipes. It's very informative, and fascinating to see the process of creating a well crafted cocktail. The majority of the ingredients here aren't your bartending basics, and if you're a novice you may never have heard of most of them, and there's several that will require some effort and patience because they're handmade, but if you're up for the challenge it will be worth it. This is a book for those who really love the craft. It's a lot like baking: pure chemistry. The right ingredients in the right amounts can create something truly amazing, and the possibilities are endless.
