If you purchase this book, be prepared to read the word "Crisis" many many times. The beginning of the book contains some useful information, mainly, how to create simple syrup, home-made sour mix, and ginger syrup. From here, it's one crisis after another. Each Drink recipe is prefaced by a particular "crisis" whether it be of the romantic type, or job type, or even just life in general type. After reading through this, one gets the idea the only way to enjoy a particular cocktail is to first suffer/invent a "crisis". The recipes are laid out straight-forward, and through-out the book there are little "tip jars" of information, as well as 'bonus' material, some of which should be taken with a grain or two of salt, such as one that recommends all the health benefits you'll get from eating maraschino cherries. Obviously, neither author understands the process by which these are made! All in all, not a great or even a 'good' cocktail book, at best it is 'fair'. If you can buy it for under $5.00, then, its a value.Get more detail about Cocktail Therapy: The Perfect Prescription for Life's Many Crises.
