Reviews
I truly love this book. No one writes about drinks like Richard Godwin - I enjoy his prose as much as anything in the glass. * Marina Hyde * Richard is a charming and fantastically engaging guide, and this marvellous book captures all that great and glamorous about drinking well-made drinks. * Sathnam Sanghera * Simple to navigate and fun to read, it's the only book I reach for on a Friday evening. The weekend starts here. * Felicity Cloake * Richard Godwin is such a smart, funny and intoxicating drinks writer. And The Spirits - accessible, authoritative and crisply written - is the perfect companion for cocktail-curious drinkers looking to seriously up their game. * Jimi Famurewa * The Spirits is debonair, indispensable and easy enough to use after a few. * Damian Barr *
This is the ultimate in cocktail books * Waitrose Weekend * In this humorous, amateur guide to cocktailing, London journalist Richard Godwin offers a wealth of modern and classic recipes * Evening Standard * The Spirits is much more than mere drinks recipes: it is thoughtful, well-researched, witty, well-written and even inspirational * Spectator * Richard Godwin knows how to take the nonsense out and put the pleasure back into cocktail-making. Intelligent, humorous, crammed full of recipes and knowledge- my new 'little black book' guide to cocktailing at home * Sainsburys Magazine * Informative recipes blended with whimsy and anecdote are given a dash of fun, and finished with a twist of brilliantly wry humour * CGA Magazine *
