Fabulous non-traditional cocktail drinks!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This little book is just the thing if you want non-traditional cocktail drinks. The Cilantro Martini was amazing and even better when I used basil in place of the cilantro. The book is hip and modern and the drinks haven't failed me once. Plus I love surprising people with the ingredient lists, after they have tasted and enjoyed.
Mixology "bar" has been Raised

As a resident of Portland, OR, I know firsthand the prowess of this author. Let's say that this sweet little book will elevate YOU to high-priestess at your next party. Inventive, easy recipes with normal easily-acquired ingredients! I would downgrade five stars to 4.95 stars only because of the font used through-out because the book, while "hip" and "cool", is very hard to read without proper light and really good eyes. Makes a really good hostess gift, too!

I've been waiting for Lucy Brennan to share her secrets of the perfect cocktail and at last it's here! All my favorites from her bar, 820, in Portland. The plastic cover is a nice touch. Highly highly recommended.
Not Your Grandfather's Martini

Cocktails can mostly be broken into 2 groups - Syrupy sickening concoctions downed by people in a hurry to get the party started. Or standards. The drinks we know by heart, reproduced like a jazz standards - anywhere from awful renditions to beautiful artistry. In Hip Sips authors Lucy Brennan and Carolyn Burleigh find a new path for the cocktail that brings a level of detail normally reserved for kitchen to the bar. Featuring the drinks that made Brennan's 820 bar the best spot for cocktails in Portland, Oregon. Beets, avocados, and berries take their rightful place a long side the popular citrus fruits. Do it yourself infusions replace flavored alcohols. The instructions are clear, concise and easy to follow. The introductions are fun to read and the photography beautifully compliments the recipes. If you or someone you know has a love for food
