This book provides an extensive range of 60 Colada & Daiquiri cocktails from basic mixers through to exotic creations, demonstrating that there is nothing complicated about preparing these delicious drinks.

Each recipe is provided with clear & uncomplicated directions, ensuring everyone can create a Colada or Daiquiri cocktail with ease. The Colada began with the creation of the Pina Colada in 1954. The Pina Colada was created by Ramon " Monchito" Marrero whilst he was a bartender at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Daiquiri is a Bacardi-based cocktail that originated from Cuba around 1905. It is believed to have been created by Jennings Cox who was an American working in the town of Daiquiri at an iron mine. Daiquiris became very popular in America during the 1940s, so much so that the 19th of July each year is celebrated as National Daiquiri Day.

The Rules Of Attraction

In "The Rules of Attraction", Bret Easton Ellis trains his incisive gaze on the kids at self-consciously bohemian Camden College, a small, affluent liberal-arts college in New England at the height of the Reagan 80s. He treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and compassion while exposing the moral vacuum at the centre of their lives. Racing from Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours to Dressed To Get Screwed parties to drinks at The Edge of the World, this is a poignant take on the death of romance. "Inspired. A wonderfully comic novel." - Gore Vidal. "Compelling...sympathetic to his "lost generation" the way only Fitzgerald was about his." - "Vanity Fair." "One of the primary inside sources in upper-middle-class America's continuing investigation of what
has happened to its children." - "New York Times." "Ellis has always been regarded as the bad boy of contemporary American letters." - Douglas Kennedy. "A tour of the heart of darkness, a moral armageddon." - "The Times."
