100 Great Cocktails

Editorial Review

IN ASSOCIATION WITH “DUBLIN” ITC MAURYA SHERATON

A MUST FOR THE BAR, THE PARTY AND THE CONNOISEUR.

Some of mankind's most important inventions are shrouded in mystery. No one knows, for instance, who invented the wheel that set humanity rolling; nor does anyone know who first hit upon the idea of mixing a couple of drinks that would get humanity reeling. There is nothing quite like a cocktail–a party lightener, it can start a conversation, just as it can plug silence, and much more… In fact, there is a cocktail to match each mood. Through the ages, a cocktail has been a looking glass with a difference. Happy reeling!
