The Cocktail Party Guide tells which spirits to buy when preparing for a party and lists all needed party accessories, including cocktail shakers, ice crushers, and the right glasses for the right drinks. The rest of the book is devoted to party themes, with ideas for cocktails and snacks appropriate to each theme. Color coding on party-theme pages matches color coding on drink cards suggested for each party. The party themes are a Caribbean Pool Party, a Tex-Mex Party, a Little Italy Party, an Asian Party, and a Russian Winter Party. This combination package has great ideas for entertaining, chic party-theme illustrations, and vivid photos of food, drink, and dAccor.
