The trend of cocktail making at home is set to continue now that so many of us appreciate how a delicious cocktail can make any evening special, and it really does not have to be time-consuming. 60-Second Cocktails: Amazing Drinks to Make At Home in a Minute is the latest book from award-winning drinks writers and TV presenters Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley.

These simple-yet-delicious cocktails are divided into three chapters:

No Shake, Sherlock - the easiest to make, requiring little or no preparation, and using standard spirits and mixers.

Shake It Up - slightly more complex concoctions that need a quick shake or stir.

Magnificent Mixes - special drinks for the more decadent drinking occasions which require a little more prep, or an unusual ingredient here and there.
