Beach Cocktails: Pours, Drinks, Sips, and Bites

Vacation is calling! Create your own island paradise with this guide to inspired tropical cocktails from well-known mixologists and the perfect snacks to pair them with.

"A simple, handy, photo-filled guide.... Reedy seems to have put the same level of thought into the mocktail recipes as she did into the alcohol-based recipes, with each one seeming like an interesting option. VERDICT A good choice for someone looking for creative, fun, rum-based tropical drink recipes."--Library Journal

Allyson Reedy's Beach Cocktails is a collection of 75 recipes for classic tiki drinks, frozen cocktails, tropical mocktails, and a bonus chapter of nibbles. The kinds of umbrella-adorned drinks that scream the vacation-in-a-glass mindset we could all use a little more of.

You'll find recipes for beach classics like mai tais, margaritas, rum punch, and painkillers, provided by iconic bars and resorts like Death & Co and the Four Seasons. Along with information about techniques, equipment, and where to source tropical ingredients, you will find easy-to-follow instructions for making infused rums and simple syrups to take your tiki game to the next level. So, what are you waiting for? It's five o'clock somewhere . . .
