Mixology has become wildly popular with many yet remains something of a mystery to others, so the '3-Ingredient Cocktails: An Opinionated Guide to the Most Enduring Drinks in the Cocktail Canon' recipe book is here to simplify things. The book packs 75 recipes that are all made using just three ingredients to keep them as simple to create as possible. This makes it possible for amateurs to foray into the [world of mixology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-bar-set) and for [seasoned individuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drinks-bureau-cocktails) to keep tabs on the classics.

The '3-Ingredient Cocktails: An Opinionated Guide to the Most Enduring Drinks in the Cocktail Canon' is organized into sections based on the style of drink including contemporary and classic options. Witty notes are also in the mix by the author, Robert Simonson, to add a bit of humor for you to enjoy while mixing things up.
