Shaken Not Stirred is a comprehensive introduction to mixing and serving your own classic cocktails at home. Featuring delicious recipes, concise instructions and helpful hints, the book is fun as well as easy to follow. This beautifully photographed guide will inspire you to create many of the old favorites as well as a wide range of the more modern and unusual concoctions. It also includes varieties without alcohol to ensure that all tastes are catered to. It is very useful to be aware of the different equipment and materials that are needed to mix or prepare some of the cocktails, so a helpful section explaining the most familiar terms and jargon is included. There's also information on garnishes - which are the finishing touch to all cocktails - and the various ways you can display a whole range of fruit to complement your creation. Experiment with different spirits, juices, and colors, and remember that there are no hard and fast rules so if you think certain flavors will work well together, go ahead and try them out. Above all, cocktails should be fun - both to make and to drink.Effery, Paul is the author of 'Shaken Not Stirred 101 Cocktails to Make and Enjoy!' with ISBN 9780517163207 and ISBN 0517163209.
