Book Reviews of The Martini Book: The First, the Last, the Only True Cocktail
Book Review: Best Martini Recipe Book that I have found Yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just started making martini's and this book has really helped me. There are a lot of recipes (I think around 200). A lot of these recipes are just variations of garnish but there are many, many other recipes for every martini you could ever think of. The Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Winston Churchill's recipe, the Daydream Martini, the apple martini, cajun, peppermint, coffee martini, etc., etc., etc. The beginning of the book talks about the difference between gin and vodka martini's, how to set up your martini bar, the difference between shaking and stirring, the history of martini shakers, the difference in selections of vermouth and famus martini drinkers. There are also quotes throughout the book about martinis. It is a great book and would be an excellent guide to have in your bar for making martini's. And for people who want to perfect making different kinds of martini's, this is a great book. This book is excellent for veterans and newcomers to the drink.Book Review: What else is there?????
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a gift last Christmas. As a martini lover....I've tried several versions that I LOVE but have never been able to recreate due to the fact that I couldn't remember the ingredients. For example....I enjoyed a Cajun Martini while in New Orleans. I couldn't ever recreate this drink that I loved so much. All in all........I've only altered one martini drink and that's the Chocolate Martini. I add clear creme cocoa liquor vs. colored. I absolutely LOVE this book and it is a MUST have for anyone who loves martini's. It leaves you the option of never being bored with this cocktail because there are so many variations. In other words.....whatever suits your mood.Book Review: Interesting, but wrong
Summary: 4 Stars
Great recipies, however the fact remains that the only real martini is made with gin and a hint of vermouth. Anything else in a martini glass (although they may be tasty) is simply a mixed drink. Good book, bad title.Book Review: A comprehensive assortment of martini alternatives

Provides a great selection of varying martinis. Good introduction into the world of martinis and suggestions on setting up a martini bar. Guaranteed to not allow one to get bored with martinis.Book Review: More martini recipes than you can shake a coctail shaker at
Summary: 3 Stars
I cannot imagine that there exists any martini recipes that are not listed in this book. It is light on all other aspects of the martini, though.
