Just as you'd expect from Michael Ruhlman this is a book filled with background information and detail and an enormous host of cocktails with the magic recipes you need to make a beautiful version of each. Well presented - great attention to specifics and prep as well as explanations of anything you might wonder about this topic

The Book of Cocktail Ratios is an informative book about the history and evolution of cocktails, the ingredients therein, and how to make them. However, it is somewhat standard in this regard, lacking flair. The black pages and white print of the digital edition along with the pencil drawings aren't terribly engaging. Therefore it is interesting and useful but not wholly unique or exciting.

Who doesn’t love a good cocktail or high ball? This book will help you understand the similarities between some drinks and how to make a whole bunch of classic and popular cocktails.

What I like most about this book is how the rations lead to helping you mix your own creations by understanding the rations and how the addition, or subtraction, of ingredients can change them. It’s a great resource for the budding mixologist or really anyone interested in mixing up the best drinks!
