A new recipe book is the perfect gift for your boozy friend with taste. 

It will come as a relief to many &mdash; particularly those with the tastes of a financially secure adult but the budget of a college student &mdash; that a New York Times cocktail columnist (what a job!) claims the best mixed drinks only require&nbsp;three ingredients. That&#39;s only one more ingredient than a well drink, mind you.&nbsp;

Robert Simonson just released his new recipe book,&nbsp;3-Ingredient Cocktails:&nbsp;An Opinionated Guide to the Most Enduring Drinks in the Cocktail Canon. The book follows a similarly set up recipe book by famed chef Jamie Oliver&mdash;his recipes require five ingredients. Simonson looks to simplify all of that while still maintaining sophistication. And while three ingredients makes for easy mixing, Simonson&#39;s focus is actually on stability. In the books introduction, he writes, &quot;The triange is the most stable of shapes, so it comes as no surprise, then, that the three-ingredient cocktail is the most sturdy and lasting of cocktail constructions,&quot; adding &quot;threes a charm.&quot;

Whether you&#39;re looking to wow your friends this holiday party season with something better than a vodka soda, or looking to surprise a mixology-loving friend, you can do no better than&nbsp;3-Ingredient Cocktails.&nbsp;And it&#39;s only $10 on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/3-Ingredient-Cocktails-Opinionated-Enduring-Cocktail/dp/0399578544">Amazon</a>.&nbsp;
