Reviews

“These days, when farm-to-barstool mixologists plunder Greenmarkets, back bars and spice caravans for their concoctions, it’s refreshing to revisit these basics. Robert Simonson…is all for simplifying. Yet at the same time, you may make some winning discoveries.”
New York Times

Some of the best of this year’s bountiful harvest of cocktail books reflect that return to simplicity. Among them is Robert Simonson’s “Three-Ingredient Cocktails: An Opinionated Guide to the Most Enduring Drinks in the Cocktail Canon. […] His five dozen recipes offer not just a primer for aspiring drink makers at home, but will appeal to more jaded tipplers striving to follow Thoreau’s mandate to simplify, simplify.
The Wall Street Journal

Three is a magic number, says cocktail expert Robert Simonson, who spends the entirety of this engaging, approachable book proving that claim… The ultimate achievement of ‘3-Ingredient Cocktails’ is that it makes an amateur feel as if she could, truly, make great drinks at home herself.”
San Francisco Chronicle

The drinks expert and widely published journalist proves good things come in threes. You don’t need to fill a grocery cart with fancy ingredients to make a knockout cocktail, whether it’s a citrusy Harvey Wallbanger or the timeless Manhattan.
