My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I don’t know how to make many drinks, but if I ever want something a little different, this is the perfect book. It gives the ingredients for 75 different cocktails, and all of them just use 3 ingredients.

The beginning of the book explains what items you need for a good home bar and how to use them. It also shows which kind of glass is for each cocktail (who knew?). After that is a section on what ingredients are important to have for 3-ingredient cocktails.

Essential 3-Ingredient Cocktails is a great reference to have on hand if you’re wanting a little bit of a change or, if you have parties, you can impress you friends with your new mixology skills.
