Art of the Cocktail or The Marthas Vineyard Cookbook

Art of the Cocktail: 100 Classic Cocktail Recipes

Author: Philip Collins

The Art of the Cocktail presents one hundred examples of the mixmaster's art that are both beautiful and tasty. From the elegant, classic Martini to the blockbuster Sloe Gin Fizz, the range and inventiveness of these recipes is both astounding and inspiring.

This book is more than a memorial. It provides recipes for the drinks, suggestions for serving them, and photographs of swirling liquors in lovely vintage glasses. The Art of the Cocktail is a reminder that the consumption of alcohol requires more than a container and a beverage. At once functional and attractive, it is a perfect complement to the drinks celebrated in its pages.
