Book review: Cocktails ‘09

]]> Wow! What a terrible job someone had to do, scouring the best bars and restaurants coast to coast to decide what to include in this 2009 guide from Food & Wine!  A terrible job, but someone had to do it!

In Food & Wine Cocktails ‘09, the 150 recipes included here are the deemed the best of the best, with a wonderful at-a-glance type of guide to let you know how complicated, what type of liquor, and what shape of glass for each.  There is also an entire section of Mocktails, which I really appreciate since I found out anew that I am a lightweight when it comes to mixed drinks!

Being a Campari lover, I decided to try out the Negroni (page 123), a delightful mixture of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.  My only problem was that the drink ended up being 3 full ounces, with no fillers, and that was TOO MUCH for me!  Next time, I’ll mix it up and split it with my sweetie instead of making us one each  :-)
