As Australia's love of cocktail bars continues at a rapid pace, so too does the passion for unique, bespoke drinks that flourish in each of them. And just like it did in the 80s, the culture of having a home bar to mix your top tipple, almost as well as your favourite establishment, is also on the rise.

To make a good cocktail at home you need the ideal guide and, for the eighth time, the team behind 'bars and clubs' magazine are proud to release the latest edition of Signature Cocktails.

Once again, we have called on some of the world's leading brands and the country's finest mixologists to assist in producing Australia's most comprehensive guide to cocktails. Complete with a photo and easy step-by-step recipe for each drink, Signature Cocktails 2010 Collection features classics like the Margarita, Martini, Negroni, Mai Tai and Bloody Mary, and original drinks like the Concubine, Thai Tonic and Red Rover.

This year, you'll again find eight pages of bartending tips to help you refine the perfect cocktail-making technique and a listing of brands to set your tastebuds off in the right direction.
