Read my full review @ http://bit.ly/W66l7gMy opinion: Let me say first that this cookbook was put together beautifully. The drinks and snacks/appetizers looked delicious; however, there was a complexity to the drink recipes that I don't think made it a practical cookbook for the everyday house or house bar. Frequently, the liqueurs required multiple steps and multiple days of preparation, such as vanilla orange liqueur which was utilized in only one margarita. Now, there will be a couple of drinks that I prepare for this food blog, but they were definitely outweighed by those that couldn't be. I thought the variations in the guacamole were interesting. The snacks in the book were light and required special ingredients which may/may not be difficult to locate such as a powdered chipotle powder.
