They'll also get a host of recipes for delicious cocktails that illustrate each spirits' unique characteristics.
The Everyday Guide to Spirits and Cocktails: Taste and Traditions also includes two bonus lectures packed with insider tips, such as how to create the perfect home bar, how to make sure the figure-conscious can enjoy their favorite drinks, and how to craft seasonal cocktail recipes like Eggnog and Hot Buttered Rum.

"Everyone loves a delicious cocktail—never more so than during the party season," says Ms. Simonetti-Bryan. "But many people can't tell their gin from their vodka, or their sour from their daiquiri. The Everyday Guide to Spirits and Cocktails: Tastes and Traditions offers a solid grounding in understanding the origins of spirits, the intricacies of tasting, how to establish your personal preferences, and above all, how to mix that lip-smackingly good cocktail. It's a comprehensive guide to spirits and cocktails – with bite-size, half-hour lectures that can be enjoyed on your own time."
