By breaking down drinks in a visually organized format the reader instantly grasps the cocktail-connection and is left feeling empowered. After a single page turn they'll think to themselves, Wow! If I just add some peach schnapps and cranberry juice to a Screwdriver then I've made a Sex on the Beach! The first five chapters of the book cover, glassware, bar tools, basic techniques, terminology, mixers, garnishes, and alcohol. Chapters 6 - Chapter 20 allow enough space for numerous photographed drink recipes.
