Liberal Libations

Liberal Libations empowers you to craft bar-quality cocktails for a large crowd or for an intimate gathering. Make-ahead batch recipes allow you to spend less time mixing drinks, and more time enjoying each sip with friends. Single serving recipes turn an impromptu visit into an impressive cocktail hour. Have you ever thrown a party and were too busy mixing cocktails to really be in the moment with your guests? You don't spend time cooking while everyone else eats--so why make drinks while everyone else has fun? This book is guaranteed to help you level up your batch cocktail game. Because anyone who's tried to multiply their favorite cocktail recipe knows it's tricky to measure ingredients and balance flavors in quantity. Liberal Libations removes all the guesswork in batching cocktails so you'll no longer worry about messy math and confusing conversions, or missing your own party! Each recipe includes single-serving and batch instructions made with easy-to-find ingredients. Chapters are organized by spirit--tequila and mezcal, whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, (and wine)--with cocktails for every season, occasion, and mood. Over 85 recipes feature timeless classics (Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, and Proper Margarita) and playful originals (House of Underdown, Summer Solstice, and Mr. Stiggins). This essential guide teaches you time-saving techniques for stress-free entertaining, so your next gathering can be spent catching up and connecting.
