Regardless of whether you drink cocktails or whether you don't, shouldn't, or can't, this book is an excellent addition to your collection of cocktail recipe books. If you are taking acetaminophen or some other drug with adverse side effects caused or heightened by consuming alcohol while taking the drug, the recipes in this book will help you avoid feeling "deprived" or limited in your drink choices, particularly when entertaining or going out. Here, I speak from several months' experience.During a recent recuperative period (caused mostly by being old enough that it takes awhile to heal up), we tried most of the recipes in the book. We liked them all. All the ingredients called for in the recipes can be used or adapted to regular cocktails once the alcohol consumption limitations no longer apply. Once the limits are off, however, the recipes still are handy for creating the "base" for alcoholic cocktails (just add alcohol of choice) and then serving just the "base" to guests who either don't or shouldn't or can't consume alcohol. And, I loved the pictures and the descriptions of the drink presentations - certainly more than just pouring ingredients in some old juice glass.
