This book is a collection of 100 classic cocktails, some are relatively recent—the Cosmopolitan, for example, dates only to the late ‘eighties, whereas several date back to the 19th-century—The Tom Collins, for example, was first memorialized in writing in 1876, by the father of mixology

Ice does far more than simply chill your drink: it dilutes the alcohol, making the cocktail less potent, and improving the flavor at the same time. Your ice should be fresh, and if you want the best possible results, freeze filtered water for use in your mixological masterpieces.
Finally, don’t worry too much about the glasses—don’t be intimidated by the suggestion that you need a highball or a martini glass: feel free to improvise. If you get bitten by the cocktail bug, and want to serve authentic
