Today’s diners and drinkers are seeing a bold new integration of culinary art and cocktail culture. Market-Fresh Mixology shows how fabulous additions from the farmer’s market, garden, or pantry can elevate classic cocktails to the next level. It introduces an entirely new dimension to the ideal of seasonal cocktails, with a clean, contemporary approach that uses fine spirits and fresh ingredients to create cocktails for every occasion. Hot day? Blustery night? Snowbound? No matter what the weather, season, or event, Market-Fresh Mixology offers a recipe, from the refreshing summer mojito to the cozy hot buttered rum, that’s as easy to follow as it is delicious. With its gorgeous full color photos, the book is a treat for the eyes, but it’s also eminently practical, with tips on cocktail mixing techniques, garnishes, enhancements, glassware, and bar tools, as well as amusing lore surrounding classic cocktails.
“Plump garnishes, perspiring glasses and a plethora of (rosemary) twigs and berries…we had just been introduced to cocktail porn… Think of [Market-Fresh Mixology] as the antidote to any and every weather emergency—no matter if it’s a scorcher or a snow-in, there’s a cocktail in this book to get you through it.”
—Time Out Chicago
”[Market-Fresh Mixology features] more than 100 pages of lip-smacking cocktail recipes that feature seasonal fruits, vegetables, and spices.”
—The RedEye (Chicago)
