You like Martini's, you like this book.

Even though you will probably never replace the Dirty Martini as the best cocktail ever, and you already know how to make the perfect one, this book will entertain you, and certainly encourage you to experiment. Ingredient index in the back, that's a plus. Looks good displayed in your bar area. Not too expensive. I am glad I own it.
If you want to learn how to make not only the perfect martini -- but an impressive variety of them

Profusely illustrated throughout with Zeva Oelbaums full-color photography, "The Martini Book" is a compilation of recipes and instructions for making and mixing 201 different cocktail beverages. This newly revised and significantly expanded compendium of one of America's favorite recreational drinks for adults includes directions for setting up a martini bar including the necessary ingredients and equipment. The drink recipes are organized into two sections: 'The Classics' and 'Martinis with a Twist'. concluding with a Recipe Index and an Ingredient Index, "The Martini Book" is the ideal reference for novice bartenders and a welcome, recommended addition to personal and professional reference collections. If you want to learn how to make not only the perfect martini -- but an impressive variety of them -- then "The Martini Book" is the 'user friendly' manual for you!
Interesting, but wrong

Great recipies, however the fact remains that the only real martini is made with gin and a hint of vermouth. Anything else in a martini glass (although they may be tasty) is simply a mixed drink. Good book, bad title.
Best Martini Recipe Book that I have found Yet!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I just started making martini's and this book has really helped me. There are a lot of recipes (I think around 200). A lot of these recipes are just variations of garnish but there are many, many other recipes for every martini you could ever think of. The Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Winston Churchill's recipe, the Daydream Martini, the apple martini, cajun, peppermint, coffee martini, etc., etc., etc. The beginning of the book talks about the difference between gin and vodka martini's, how to set up your martini bar, the difference between shaking and stirring, the history of martini shakers, the difference in selections of vermouth and famus martini drinkers. There are also quotes throughout the book about martinis. It is a great book and would be an excellent guide to have in your bar for making martini's. And for people who want to perfect making different kinds of martini's, this is a great book. This book is excellent for veterans and newcomers to the drink.
What else is there?????

I received this book as a gift last Christmas. As a martini lover....I've tried several versions that I LOVE but have never been able to recreate due to the fact that I couldn't remember the ingredients. For example....I enjoyed a Cajun Martini while in New Orleans. I couldn't ever recreate this drink that I loved so much. All in all........I've only altered one martini drink and that's the Chocolate Martini. I add clear creme cocoa liquor vs. colored. I absolutely LOVE this book and it is a MUST have for anyone who loves martini's. It leaves you the option of never being bored with this cocktail because there are so many variations. In other words.....whatever suits your mood.
