I recently planned the menu for my wedding reception, and I asked the bartender to mix one of the drinks from this book as our signature cocktail: The Pacific Star (pg.106...it's a clever blend of white cranberry juice, vodka, orange curacao, lychee syrup, lemon juice, and champagne, finished off with a slice of starfruit for garnish). The cocktail was originally created by the author of 101 Champagne Cocktails for The Four Seasons Maui. It's unique and absolutely delicious. I know all of our guests will be thrilled. I have purchased several cocktail books in the past, but this one surpasses them all. The recipes are very straightforward, and something even a novice could create, but the result is spectacular every time. The author compiled a fabulous mix of her own recipes, and those of other master mixologists (such as the Ritz Cocktail on page 15). Every recipe I have mixed so far has dazzled my guests. I highly recommend this for anyone in search of delightful drink recipes that are truly one-of-a-kind.
