"A collection of the greatest drinks of all time, modern and classic, all of which conveniently feature only three ingredients. 3-ingredient Cocktails is a concise history of the best classic cocktails, and a curated collection of the best three-ingredient cocktails of the modern era. Organized by style of drink and variations, the book features 75 delicious recipes for cocktails both classic (Japanese Cocktail, Bee's Knees, Harvey Wallbanger) and contemporary (Remember the Alimony, Little Italy, La Perla), in addition to fun narrative asides and beautiful full-color photography."--Publisher's description.
I love the simple premise of this book, that is, you don’t need a basketful of ingredients to make a great drink. In fact, with just three ingredients, you can make a great-tasting cocktail.
This book is an opinionated antidote to those fussy cocktail books with their 10+ ingredient recipes requiring obscure items like lamb wool tincture and shaved squirrel saliva.
