review 1: If you picked this up to begin with you'll probably find a healthy list of things you want to try, and the commentary is both delightfully snarky and on point. Want to get a crowd drunk? Make something appallingly authentic (Louis Pasteur's ghost is shuddering over the milk punches)? Just enjoy a new cocktail with some historical context? Then this is worth checking out. And if anyone ever tells you how straitlaced the Victorians were, let them know that a proper ladies lemonade from that era contained more gin than they think.
review 2: Well, it's definitely a niche market. I guess the best I can say is that it is decently written and easy to read, probably well researched. But as far as entertainment value, not so much. And as far as usable recipes, well I sp... moreent more time thinking how gross all those fermented milk drinks had to be. LOL I admit there were several that I might try...not the milky drinks but some of the others. If you have a slight interest in the Victorian era drinks, then sure. I'll keep it on my bookshelf if I decide to concoct one of these. less
