Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

I read the recipe book cover-to-cover. I loved the sprinkling of mixology tips and the insightful knowledge on why certain flavor combos work (giving me my own ideas of recipes I can create myself). Highly recommend!

What reviewers didn't like

A lot of duplicate recipes. Three different ways to make the same drink? That could’ve been condensed into one recipe with some notes on what can be substituted.
