Different times of year evoke in us the desire for different flavors and textures. While the summer calls for something cold and refreshing, the winter asks us for something to warm us, for the flavors that remind us of this special time of year, and for celebratory drinks and cocktails to boost us as we gather and enjoy new beginnings. In this Winter edition of "A Drink for All Seasons" you'll find many different winter-inspired alcoholic beverages including cocktails, toddies, mugs, and more broken down by type (punches, cocktails, wine-based, beer-based cocktails, eggnogs, etc.). Drinks included in this collection have been hand-picked to help you match your mood, whether one alone, a couple or small gathering, or partying with a crowd. This is a go-to book for any home bar that will make it easy to fit the preferences of each and every guest (including yourself ).
