About the Book

Shake up your cocktail routine with this easy-to-follow guide from the critically acclaimed authors of Be Your Own Bartender. You love your favorite libations, but sometimes you want something new that you know you’ll like. This user-friendly collection provides all the tools you need to create delicious new concoctions. It reconfigures 25 timeless tipples, from Bloody Marys, Daiquirís, and Manhattans to Margaritas, Negronis, and Old-Fashioneds. A few simple riffs will elevate your mainstays to a truly spirited experience. Want a Bloody Mary that tastes smoky and spicy? Make a Mezcal Maria, with tomatillo mix. Love the taste of horseradish? Try the Hail Mary, with horseradish-infused vodka. For a Negroni with rich flavor and a hit of caffeine, try the Night Watch, made with cold brew. To go lighter and skip the gin, stir up a Daytime Negroni with vodka, Cappelletti, and Lillet. Featuring handy diagrams, numerous variations for different palates, and surprising flavor combinations, remixing the classics has never been easier.
