JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE!

An inventive and inclusive drinks book with 55 cocktail recipes, each with three variations for classic, riff, and zero-proof versions, for a total of 165 recipes. From the World Class bartending champion behind Likeable Cocktails. 

e.g.

• The tropical Jungle Bird cocktail has a blackstrap rum base; the modern spin called the City Pigeon has a white rum and gin base; and the spirit-free option, aptly named the Free Bird, has a spirit-free gin base.
• The classic Cosmopolitan features a cranberry and vodka base; the modern Ru-Paulitan infuses earl grey and limoncello flavours; and the zero-proof Metropolitan subs in a nonalcoholic spirit and aperitif.
• The Espresso Martini gets modernized into a Bean Around the World cocktail that swaps vodka for tequila and chile liqueur for a spicy interpretation. The spirit-free Death Before Decaf pairs the espresso with tonic water for a nice, long finish. 

With a modern design and photos — margaritas, Manhattans, negronis, and more for every palate and every persuasion.
