Hollywood Cocktails Hollywood Cocktails
Tobias Steed with Cocktail Recipes by Ben Reed

Relive the stories of the movies and the drinks linked to them, and create your own cocktails using the recipes here, for example the classic James Bond Vodka Martini, naturally shaken not stirred. This is a stylish new look of cocktails through the Hollywood lens.

Drawing on the golden age of Hollywood with its unique style and flair, Hollywood Cocktails offers all the inspiration you need to create your own Hollywood debonair drinks.

Each classic cocktail featured has its own story to tell, as well as its own important part to play in the films in which it starred. Every chapter includes cocktail recipes for a different time of day or celebration, so you can mix drinks for every occasion - from the sophisticated pre-dinner cocktail hour to an al fresco event. And as well as practical recipes, you can also read all about the films in which the cocktail appears. There is even a section devoted to morning-after concoctions for soothing away the results of any over-indulgence the night before.

Sophisticated and stylish, fun and easy-to-follow, this book adds a new dimension to the art of mixing drinks, and will bring hours of pleasure to those who read and use it.
