A Top Ten Nominee for the 2020 Spirited Awards
Finalist for the 2020 IACP Award for Best Cookbook, Wine, Beer or Spirits
 
For anyone looking to expand their palate and discover a new favorite go-to drink, this inventive cocktail book is just the thing. Each chapter is based on a classic (like the Manhattan), but inside readers will discover numerous riffs (like swapping Irish whiskey for rye to make a Blackthorn, or substituting amaro for vermouth to make a Black Manhattan). More than 100 variations on twenty-one modern classic cocktail recipes are accompanied by helpful tips on keeping a well-stocked bar, garnishing drinks, and throwing a party. With bold coloring and classic recipes and intriguing variants, Cocktails with a Twist is a cocktail book unlike any other.
