“This is a well-designed guide, with full-colour photos and occasional graphics on every page—often filling the whole page—and the paper itself is smooth and glossy and cut to a squarish heft. . . . Every cocktail tells a tale, a combination of its own background and components, and, ideally, the context of and characters with which it is consumed.”
