The Aviary Cocktail Book

Got this as a gift for a loved one for Christmas. The book is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell it was painstakingly put together. The photos are absolutely stunning and the recipes very very unique. It's a well made book, high quality binding, cover and pages. Full color photos on near every single page. Stories behind drinks. It's very specialized, meaning that for a lot of the drinks you'll need to get some special equipment, or you'll have to go through multiple steps to create the drink...tho in my opinion that's part of the fun of it. Not all drinks do you need anything special tho, but time and patience. We can't wait to try some of these drinks out. Perfect coffee table book that also has some wild concoctions to make!

This is one of those food and beverage books that warrants visible placement in your home. Not only is the book elegantly bound and easy to match with many decor schemes, but it's nice to be able to page through it from time to time. The recipes inside might feel inaccessible to some, but they're really great for inspiration even if you don't directly follow them. The authors have exercised incredible care in composing balanced, creative beverages, and any one of them is sure to impress (or make you feel like you're treating yourself).

Large, great photos, interesting recipes. Excellent coffee table book.

This book is beautiful, with inspiring pictures and great cocktails you can try your hand at if you have the courage. I was not disappointed as some other reviewers because I already had the majority of basic tools in my kitchen, though some will be out of range for anyone but a high end restaurant/lounge. With that said I was looking for a challenge and found it. **Also, as a note, to those that are complaining about it not coming with the custom box, as you may have seen on social media... There are two versions of this book, this is the standard hardcover edition. It is the reserve edition that comes with the box to keep the book in and is the version that has been shown on social media, it is also more expensive. Just an FYI
