Praise
“It’s so nice to get back to the classic recipes for today’s cocktails. Too many cocktails have been brutalized by know-it-all bartenders who think waving a bottle of vermouth over a glass of gin makes a martini—not! The martini recipe in this book passed the father-in-law test—and my father-in-law is the most discriminating cocktail drinker I know. That says it all.”
—Tom Douglas, author of Tom Douglas’ Seattle Kitchen
“If this fun, breezy book doesn’t get your party started you should consider investing in a new set of friends.”
—David Wondrich, columnist for Esquire
“Party Drinks entertains you while teaching you how to entertain with a minimum of hassle. Rathbun’s style and wit make this, not only a helpful book, but a fun read, too.”
—Gary Regan and Mardee Haidin Regan, authors of New Classic Cocktails
“The next time you’re looking to have some fun, turn to A.J. Rahbun’s Party Drinks! for inspiration. From the classic martini to a sexy Singapore Sling, Party Drinks! has the recipe to jump start any party!”
—Colin Cowie, host of Everyday Elegance with Colin Cowie and author of Dinner After Dark
