World's Best Cocktails by Tom Sandham

A fascinating and stunning visual journey around the world of cocktails, from Manchester to Melbourne via Manhattan and Mexico, by an acknowledged industry expert

'A lavish, large-format volume with nearly the heft and gloss of a Helmut Newton photography bookBut it's more than pretty pictures. Tom Sandham persuaded some of best talent in the cocktail world to contribute recipes, and the result is a solid guide to the classics, along with adventurous variations like the Zegroni, a rum-based Negroni with Dubonnet and Campari. The pages are leavened with brief profiles of bartenders, intriguing sidebars of drinking history and tours of some of the world's most appealing lounges. Carrying it around made me thirsty; leafing through it made me even thirstier.'

'World's Best Cocktails looks gorgeous (you'll want to drink the pages), but is also super useful, packed full of cocktail recipes, as well as history, culture and trivia.'
