We've sold out of this edition, and the good news is that the NEW Eighteenth Edition is now available to pre-order - published 12th December 2024

We have sold out of this edition on this website, and also in our Amazon UK and Europe stores.

(There are still copies available from our stores on Amazon USA and Amazon Australia.)

However, don’t be disappointed! Difford’s Guide to Cocktails Eighteenth Edition is being printed in Italy right now! We expect delivery to our office in the UK around 10th December. This brand new edition is available to pre-order from Monday 18 November, for delivery within the UK in time for Christmas. We’re very happy to take orders from outside the UK but won’t be able to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas. Take me to the 18th Edition page.

I (Simon Difford) make the cocktails and write the book. Dan, our long-standing photographer and designer creates the recognisably Difford's Guide look and feel with a pic alongside each of the 3,300 cocktails. Paloma, my partner and our boss, made it happen.

Packed & dispatched by us

We hand-pack and label every book ourselves and dispatch directly from our little office in picturesque East Sussex.

UK & International shipping

Our shop is configured to receive orders from and deliver books to UK, USA, Canada and EU countries. If you're in another country and so see a message saying "we don't ship to your region" please email us at hello@diffordsguide.com so we can help.

Protective packaging

We are keen to avoid the use of single-use plastics but equally want to ensure our books arrive in perfect condition, clean and dry, encased in their own protective atmosphere. Hence, our printers shrink-wrap every book. Please dispose of this plastic wrapper responsibly and be reassured that our purpose-made plain brown boxes with protective ends are made using recycled material and are recyclable.
