Despite the popularity of drinks and cocktails currently enjoyed in the United Kingdom, you don't have to pay through the nose to get a book with a good selection of recipes/ideas. Most of the books listed here have been picked up in the cheap book shops for between £5 and £10. Below is a list of the books that I currently have and use.
