DESCRIPTION

Shaken, stirred, clarified, layered, floral, and more, these gorgeous cocktails taste as good as they look.

Cocktail alchemy--the sweet, sour, bitter, booze--is magic in the hands of self-taught mixologist Natalie Migliarini. Sure, her story is the classic "girl-quits-job-to-pursue-passion-(cocktails)-starts-website-(Beautiful Booze)-leads-to-book-(yes, this one)." But these beautiful drinks are the result of a real immersion in the craft of building cocktails. Based on a solid foundation of research and feel for cocktail trends, Beautiful Booze is an instant classic. Readers can prepare these drinks at home, using available ingredients and simple tools.

Great cocktails elevate every occasion from ordinary to amazing. Here you'll find recipes for mainstays like the Bloody Mary Bar Cart, as well as old-made-new cocktails like a Créme de la Colada, Limoncello Daiquiri, and Lavender Fizz. Vibrant photographs make reading this book almost as much fun as mixing its drinks.
