SEXY COCKTAILS - Hardcover

Adam and Eve, Between the Sheets, and Bay of Passion: the names testify to the cocktails' sexy reputation. They're also just some of the recipes found in this stimulating, illustrated compendium of wickedly aphrodisiac potables. Here are cocktails designed to make women swoon, put lovers in the mood, match beautifully with seductive food, and make a smooth pick-up line sound even better. Some have richly sinful chocolate, such as the heavenly Angel Dream; some strong concoctions will send drinkers right to bed (the powerful Bottoms Up); and others, including Love in the Afternoon, simply have a lovely languid flavor that invites desire. Plus, there's information on the right glassware to enhance the experience and a discussion of the eternal allure of the martini.
