Have you always wanted to learn how to make expensive-looking and stylish cocktails but you were afraid the whole subject was too hard to learn? Good news is coming your way - it's entirely possible to make delicious, professional cocktails in the comfort of your own home. Impress your guests with vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, and even non-alcoholic cocktails and forget having to wait at the bar any longer.

However, these aren't too hard to learn and once you have the right equipment in place, you'll be able to quickly master the techniques that will allow you to mix and muddle your way to cocktail heaven. The downside of cocktail making is that you need to have a stock of ingredients on hand in order to whip up a batch of your favourite drink. For the most part, this is quite easy, as vodka, rum, whiskey, etc, are all quite easy to find. The mixers are often the difficult part, but in most supermarkets, you will find the ingredients you need. However much buying the ingredients costs you, it will never be as much as several rounds of cocktails in a high quality bar. Whether you want to relax at home with a drink in hand, or you have an upcoming event you need to cater for, learning how to make your favourite cocktails is never a waste of time. Your guests will be suitably impressed and if you have children or non-drinkers in attendance, you can learn about non-alcoholic cocktails very easily too. These cocktails simply omit the alcohol but use the same mixing techniques. This Cocktail Cookbook is going to teach you the basics and then take you through 50 delicious and easy cocktail recipes to replicate for yourself. The only question is, which will you start with?
