My Review
I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I agreed to review this book but it was delightful. It lists the ingredients of many cocktails but it also explains their history, and some of those histories are quite interesting. For those who don’t care for alcohol, or those who are too young, there are mock-tales included and some of those sound delicious.
The punctuation took a little away from this book and I suggest that it be edited; otherwise, it was great.
Illustrated with cute cartoons throughout, Cocktails and Mock-tales is an adventure into the world of beverages.
