Reading the ebook  "Cocktails At Home: How To Surprise Guests With Perfectly Appropriate Drinks For Every Occasion" by Vanessa Pagan was like embarking upon a one-of-a-kind journey as I learned how to make what I believe might just be some of the world’s most innovative, unique, and delicious cocktails.  This was a fascinating read that answers many questions cocktail geeks have had over the years.  Unlike most books on the market about making cocktails, this one has a little bit of everything- recipes, trivia, history, and science.  I love her  format  it's broken down into lots of chapters so that you don't have to read it in any particular order or for any length of time.  You can tell that Pagan  is passionate about the subject and inspired me with her simple recipes that I am one -hundred percent sure will result in near Nirvana.  Take her Gilligan's Island Cocktail that will allow my guests and I to relax as if we were on our very own deserted Island or her Tropical Heaven Cocktail that will  surely  have us day dreaming of being in a Tropical Rain-forest.  I can hardly wait to have a summer party and put her recipes to the test.
