[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9474467, member: 11760"] Just finished Smuggler's Cove, which is great for people who like tiki bars and making exotic cocktails. It's like a college course -- although written very conversationally -- about rum, 20th century America, making cocktails and what goes into making home and professional tiki bars. A niche book but a great one if you care about this stuff. In terms of actual cocktails, though, I'd probably say Sippin' Safari is probably a little better, since these recipes are from the best tiki bar in America and use at least some ingredients (including many of them homemade) that ordinary people won't have or have the fridge space to justify making for themselves. Now onto my reread of Wee Free Men in my great Pratchett re-read. The witch books are possibly my favorite strain of Discworld novels and the Tiffany Aching books come out strong, right out of the gate, as Pratchett at this point knew what ideas he wanted to focus on in witch stories.
