Description
The Power of Positive Drinking isn't a guide on how to get drunk. It is a guide to how to drink well.
Drinking has a bad reputation in some quarters. But that's largely because we don't drink properly, as we have not yet been initiated in the art of drinking well. Most of us know plenty about healthy eating, but next to nothing about healthy drinking.
This is Cleo Rocos' master class on how to imbibe successfully, on how to reach that delicious level of intoxication where you and your fellow drinkers blossom into the favourite version of yourselves and stay there. From Rocos we learn how to ensure that every drinking occasion snowballs into a glorious and triumphant event.
Inside these pages lie the secrets of alcohol. The finest hints and tips on stylish drinking gleaned from seasoned and successful drinkers around the globe; failsafe recipes for some of the world's greatest snifters - martini recipes, margarita recipes, mojitos and cosmopolitans - along with a few of Cleo's own specialities, guaranteed to avoid that awful hangover.
Enjoy this book responsibly.

Person
Cleo Rocos is the essential ingredient to any party that wants to go with a swing, and has spent a lifetime partying with the best of them, as a host of bon viveurs from Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana to Alan Carr and Jack Nicholson would attest. She is also an international spirits judge.
Her love for Mexico and its favourite drink has led to her adoption by the tequila industry, where she has been honoured by its official governing body. 2012 saw her launching her own brand of 100 per cent agave tequila, AquaRiva, with high-profile lifestyle brand partners such as Virgin Atlantic, Waitrose and Sainsbury's. The Power of Positive Drinking was published in 2013. Cleo lives in London.
