{"product_id":"9781784727994","title":"The cocktail cabinet: the art, science and pleasure of mixing the perfect drink","description":"\"In 'The Cocktail Cabinet' flavour expert Zoe Burgess demystifies cocktails, explaining and exploring the structures, flavour profiles and techniques used. She helps you understand why cocktails work, looking at the five basic tastes and other elements, including the flavour profiles of key spirits. She pulls apart classic recipes to explore their structure and why certain ingredients work together. Understanding these elements allows you to build on your personal taste preferences, opening up a vast palette of options -- including those of your own creation. More than 80 recipes for drinks organized by cocktail type then put that knowledge into practice. In each chapter Zoe builds on the basic recipe, layering on additional ingredients and variations to ensure you go on the journey of exploration with her and get under the skin of how the cocktails are built. Informative illustrations show everything from the flavour profiles of spirits to the deconstructed building blocks of each cocktail. Cocktails are about enjoyment, of course, but what this ingenious book demonstrates is that the more you understand what you're drinking, the more you will enjoy not only that drink but the whole world of delicious options that understanding opens up.\"--taken from back cover.","brand":"Mitchell Beazley, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55527003455831,"sku":"9781784727994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/11894773482823.jpg?v=1792532484","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/9781784727994","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
