Mocktails: The Complete Bartender's Guide

Great.

Great recipes presented in a five-star quality book. Loved it

My really good friend with whom I used to get drunk got pregnant. I thought this would be a good present. She loved the present and tried a few mocktails. They tasted great! I would share the mocktails but with a bit of vodka or jin added and they are fabulous.I always thought mocktails are a boring version of cocktails but it totally changed my perspective!

My nephew is going to love it.

The author is someone you want to invite over for a drink and just chat with; he's witty, intelligent, and seems willing to try seemingly odd flavor combinations just to see if he's missed something. This is the result of his ruminations. The format of the book (lay-flat hidden spiral binding) says he actually uses books in his kitchen and the tone of the author (I just went Mad in the kitchen and here's some of my favorite happy- accidents/ discoveries!) lends to seeing what Else he came up with on the next page. He does not come across as someone who is a recovering alcoholic pining for missed cocktails, but someone who likes to play with flavors and textures in delightful ways. I have been looking for these sorts of creative (NOT ALL FRUIT JUICE BASED!) mocktails for a very long time. There is enough variety in here that I will enjoy this book for years to come. Thank you for creating such a wonderful collection of drinks from how to make Turkish coffee, to Earl Grey soda, Rhubarb Lassi, Spicy Mandarin, Sangrita, and Pumpkin punch. I tagged half a dozen recipes on my first read through. WELL worth the money.
