Shake Strain Done

From the Publisher:

Revolutionize the way you drink at home with simple recipes and common ingredients no obscure liquors or fussy techniques needed from the editorial director of Milk Street, J.M. Hirsch

Are you done with generic gin and tonics, mediocre Manhattans and basic martinis ou can use pantry staples and basic liquors to produce more than 200 game-changing craft cocktails worthy of a seat at the bar

Many cocktail books call for hard-to-find ingredients and complicated techniques that can frustrate home cocktail makers. ake Strain Done ows a better way:

If you can shake, strain, stir and turn on a blender, you can make great cocktails

No tedious secondary recipes hidden between the lines

No mysteries. You'll know what each drink will taste like before you pick up a bottle

No fancy equipment needed. A shaker, strainer and spoon are as exotic as it gets

The ingredients are mostly pantry and bar staples Cthings you already have on hand

Every drink is rated by its characteristics Warm, Refreshing, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Fruity, Herbal, Creamy, Spicy, Strong and Smoky to help expand your horizons and find more drinks to love

These are drinks with the sophistication of a high-end speakeasy, minus the fuss, like

The Sazerac 2.0 C a spice cabinet update that takes the classic back to its origin

A new White Russian that lightens the load with coconut water instead of crea

A grownup Singapore Sling that's fruity without tasting like fruit punc

A Scorched Margarita that uses the broiler to char those lemons and lime

A feisty new Gin and Tonic in which black pepper is the star ingredien

And plenty of originals, like the Pooh Bear. Butter, honey and bourbon es, please! And Mistakes Were Made, for tiki tim
