This elegant book of cocktails is full of startlingly unusual recipes for delicious drinks. The author has compiled a selection of recipes from mixologists across the country that feature one bottle (hence the title) and NO liqueurs, vermouths or bitters, which makes the recipes much easier and less expensive to make at home.

The recipes are sweet, savoury, exotic and exciting. Not having much cocktail experience, I still think it would be fun to make a special drink for special occasions, and it is always fun to try something new. This is the perfect book for making special cocktails at home, without ruining your budget or confusing people at the liquor store who have never heard super fancy ingredients that other recipes call for.

I like that the book is divided by type of spirit: Vodka, Gin, Agave, Rum, Brandy and Whiskey. Brand recommendations are provided, as well as lists of drinks by season and occasion. Several variations are also provided, which increases the amount of recipes and makes them more easy to customize.

This is a very nice looking book, and would make an excellent, elegant gift for anyone who likes trying new drinks or entertains frequently.
