Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在欧洲电影进入我们视野这些年，鸡尾酒给我们的并不是一种多层次的新味觉，而更多的体会是，那是一种会读心情的酒，比起其它洋酒更多一份神秘。就是这份神秘的距离，让我们总是对它无可奈何。尤其当心情开始晴雨不定的季节来临的时候，我们就彻底成为它的俘虏。因为只有在成为俘虏后，我们才能走进鸡尾酒的神秘。
《皇家赌场》中，007的鸡尾酒中除了一颗青梅以外完全看不到其他色彩变化。与《量子危机》中，派对上的艳丽鸡尾酒几乎是非常鲜明的对比。同样是鸡尾酒，为何在场合的变化如此大相径庭？原因不是007的心情变了，而是鸡尾酒的责任发生了变化。鸡尾酒的惯例中，按照饮用时间和场合的不同，它们的形态可是千差万别的。
美国鸡尾酒鉴赏界权威人物的厄思勃里，就曾对鸡尾酒的酒性及特色做出过这样全面深入的阐释：“它（鸡尾酒）应该是增进食欲的滋润剂，而绝不能与之背道而驰；它既能刺激食欲，又必须能够使人兴奋，否则就没有任何意义了；它必须有卓越的口味，如果太甜、太苦或是太香都会掩盖品尝酒味的能力，降低酒的品质；它需要足够的冷却，所以用高脚酒杯，烫酒最不合适，调制时需加冰，加冰量应严格按照配方控制，而且冰块也必须要达到要求的融化程度。
书中介绍了超过100种的曾在经典电影中出现过鸡尾酒种类，从克拉克盖博到乔治克鲁尼，无不有一段与鸡尾酒的有趣的轶事。(RY)
