About this deal

The flavours were well balanced, producing a sipping cocktail the equal of or better than most we’d had made for us. Includes 200 recipes, with classics such as the daiquiri, dry martini and the margarita, as well as new favourites such as the caipirinha and the mojito. Each cocktail is introduced with notes on its contents, origin and even the best season to drink it in.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Floradora saw us sticking with Gin and adding Chambord to create a fuss-free, pale pink, sparky thirst-quencher, topped up with a fiery ginger beer to create a long fresh drink, light on the alcohol.

Refunds will be made once the items are received by us and a confirmation e-mail will be sent advising the refund amount. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It would be a boon to have an interesting short selection to serve up to friends that aren’t drinking alcohol. With cocktail apps ten-a-penny nowadays, it seems criminally lax not to have even a table in the book that allows the reader to quickly look up options for a few ingredients they might have available to them.

It was easy to pull together with a bit of muddling, pouring and stirring, finally adding an oversized lump of ice. Despite this being one of our favourite cocktails if we are ‘out out’, we’ve never made one at home. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .

The perfect dinner party companion, show off to all your friends at your next gathering with all your new extraordinary skills.

The Cocktail Bible contains 200 recipes, ranging from the deliciously flavorful ABC Cocktail to the challenging but delicious Zombie. But it feels like a book that could have been a lot more informative, accessible, useable and enjoyable without a huge amount of extra thought and effort, and there’s a persistent sense that it does Olly’s abilities and recipes something of a disservice. Olly’s chatty style and evocative introductions do lead you to think of trying the Hurricane (which explains cleverly what two differently aged rums will bring to the drink), or his own invention, the Disco Dancing Mermaid, an azure party-starter based on Blue Curaçao. In amongst the entries you’ll find notes on spirits, cocktail-making tips, and world-famous bartenders. Beyond its new books, Pyramid is known for its titles drawn from the extensive Octopus archive and its custom publishing expertise.

As a total newbie I‘ve found this book very informative, but without too many details to scare you away with all the fancy cocktail words, ingredients and techniques. This holy grail of cocktail books is packed with 200 recipes, full colour images and sections on techniques, equipment, glassware, ingredients and decoration. This book is your invitation to sip through the cocktail alphabet and includes an introduction covering fundamentals like glassware and garnishing.Due to the distressing and unfathomable lack of champagne in the house we used the French Harvest variation, topping up with cider instead. It’s worth noting that in about a third of cases Olly offers alternatives, such as swapping vodka in for gin in a Gimlet, or serving a Mexican Firing Squad in a tall glass with soda for a longer drink.
