An introduction also includes home bartending basics and tips & tricks guaranteed to enchant guests.
Review
I liked that the book started off with a little backstory of tarot, brief information into different spirits and liqueurs, and how to start off with home bartending.
I loved the hand-drawn diagrams of the different tools of bartending, helps a lot to understand what is being talked about.
I also loved the illustrations accompanying each cocktail recipe, these correlate with the main ingredients and the name given to the cocktail. The photographs of the cocktail are beautiful.
I also the uniqueness of the cocktails. I mean, cocktails with egg white, milk, and tea, is simply crazy.
Oh, there is a mocktail recipe too, FYI, if you wish for a non-alcoholic beverage.
I would love to have the hardcover of this book on my shelf.
It is so visually pleasing.
Rating: 4.5/5
