Holiday Cocktails

Cocktails are always in style, and never more so than during the holidays. With the elegance of your favorite bartender, this volume serves up some of the best recipes for seasonal drinks--drinks to celebrate Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Father's Day, and Christmas. The book concentrates on the fun of the mix. Rather than showing off with arcane ingredients, it explains how to substitute everyday items for special ingredients and recommends easily available alternatives to cocktail-making and measuring equipment. It demystifies the process of the mix, getting away from the old-fashioned idea that there's only one ay to make a drink, and suggests all kinds of variations on each drink. There's also a colorful selection of non-alcoholic recipes.
