Spirited: How to Create Easy, Fun Drinks at Home

Signe Johansen's recipes play with a wide range of flavors such as fresh, floral, herbal, and spicy notes and encourage you to think like a cook, not a bartender. With chapters on drambling (the joy of winter walks and whisky), creative and delicious drinks to serve at gatherings, warming nightcaps, and non-alcoholic "soothies" to calm an ailing spirit, there is a tipple here for every occasion. There is also a collection of recipes called Cupboard Cocktails—made from staple ingredients you may already have in your kitchen—and more ambitious weekend projects for gifts or special occasions.
