Mixed & Shaken: Essential Cocktails

With this handy guide, you can make drinks, whether fancy or easy, classic or modern, that will fit any occasion. Following the detailed instructions of skilled bartenders, everyone will be able to duplicate these 260 recipes at home. The recipes are divided into four different themes: evergreen cocktails (such as the Hugo and Tequila Sunrise), happy hour (such as the Beethoven and Margarita), after-dinner (such the Alexander and B-52), and trendy cocktails.

For each drink, the book offers readers the perfect proportions of ingredients, the best techniques, and the nutritional information about calories and alcohol content.
