It means holding in stock some pretty random items which I doubt most won't bother to do Review: Beautiful - Wonderful cocktail book and love that there are photos for every recipe to aspire to!

Awesome cocktail recipes
There are so many recipes that are being created. Bought as a gift, my best mate misses loves it. Best thing she had bought for her for years which got me in the doghouse with my mate but if she’s happy, he’s happy so all good. Cannot recommend enough

Cocktail book
Bought as a Christmas present so can’t comment on content. Seemed to have lots of pictures and explanations and recipes for the unusual syrups you add. Quality hardback. Delivered quickly.

Beautiful book, recipes not for the faint-hearted
Writing this review to try and provide some balance. This is a gorgeous book - fantastic photography, clearly laid out and just the type of high quality product you'd expect from a Phaidon publication. As other reviewers have rightly pointed out, the recipes in this book are challenging for the home bartender. I would not agree that they are all unachievable though. The mocktail in the recipe above for example, requires fresh fruit that most people would have and the only 'difficult' ingredient is a pomegranate syrup, which is made simply by combining sugar, water and pomegranate juice. Also, each recipe is marked with a difficulty rating of 1-3, so you can easily see how challenging each one is going to be. Overall, I would recommend this book if you are an enthusiastic home bartender that wants to enjoy soaking up an incredibly high-level cocktail recipe book, and cherry picking perhaps 5-10 of the more achievable recipes and making those into mini projects. I'd have loved a recipe for their ginseng and bergamot bitters, which is mentioned in 4 cocktails but is not included, and instructions for how to scale down some of the ingredient recipes which have clearly been designed for a high volume bar - which is why it's 4 stars and not 5.

Beautiful cocktail book and stunning photography
Bought this mainly as a coffee table/bar styling book and it looks absolutely beautiful in person. The photography and overall presentation are stunning, with a really premium feel. Even just flicking through it is inspiring. Looks gorgeous styled on a bar cart or shelf and would make a lovely gift for cocktail lovers.

Great but hard to use without prep and planning
Ingredients are hard to find but great recipes nonetheless
