A keeper... Difford's collection is exhaustive, even though some of
the recipes feature slightly odd ingredient lists... I love how he
offers variants for most of the drinks ("If you like this, try
this..."), gives a quick sentence about how each drink should
taste, and provides historical information on some of the more
classic concoctions.--Christopher Null "Drinkhacker" (4/14/2014

(star review) This is a visually appealing, easy-to-use guide for
accomplished bartenders and newcomers alike.-- "Library Journal
xPress Reviews" (11/23/2013 12:00:00 AM)
A great addition to most public libraries needing some new life in
their collection.--Shannon Graff Hysell "American Reference Books
Annual 2014" (9/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
Easy to follow, straight up.-- "Newsday" (12/5/2013 12:00:00

The 11th edition of this boozy reference guide is the essential
tome for your serious, hardcore cocktailian.-- "Vancouver Sun"

This 11th edition is the product of 18 years of research by the
author, and is updated with 800 new cocktails. Many have a number
of variations and some have profiles that feature interesting
tidbits on the drinks' historical or technical aspects... My
favourite part: the rating of the drinks. They range from 1 star
(disgusting) to 5 stars (excellent) with hilarious gradations in
between... There is plenty of info for new and experienced
bartenders alike... Cocktail, anyone?-- "Canadian Living"
