Review of "Good Spirits: Recipes, Revelations, Refreshments, and Romance, Shaken and Served with a Twist" by A.J. Rathbun

Much more than a simple bartender's guide, "Good Spirits" is a great party planner, and a wild ride through the world of exotic libations. With nearly 500 pages of simple recipes for drinks as simle as the Harvey Wallbanger or Screaming Orgasm, to some really unusual combinations, this book is certainly proof to the adage "there's more than one way to skin a cat." Author A.J. Rathburn adds an amusing comment to each recipe, and there's a full-color photograph of most of them. And to help keep the party rockin' there's all sorts of trivia and play lists included. You can have a great time just browsing through this book, but you'll want to keep it handy when Happy Hour arrives in your house.
