A decent book, but unfortunately is in the modern mode of adulterating cockail recipes to make them sweeter and less strong, and adulterating them with lots and lots of lemonade and orange juice. I do not make my Black Russians with the overly-sweet Tia Maria when it should be Kahula and used to be served 'on the rocks' (and as for adding Coke... *shudders*) and the measures for White Ladies seem to changed and the egg white has vanished, and so on...
