The Nonalcoholic Bar
Presented by a hospitality veteran and an authority on drinks, this non-alcoholic cocktail book is organized by seven different taste profiles. There are plenty of reasons to need or want a drink--and plenty of reasons for that drink not to contain alcohol. But simply omitting it often yields a glass of something boring: more than just a buzz-maker, alcohol creates complexity and interest when it's in a drink. So how do you make up for that when you leave it out? John deBary is stirring up nonalcoholic beverages that match the flavor, deliciousness, and interest of customary cocktails. Start by assembling your back bar with John's eighteen core recipes for syrups and infusions, which you'll partner with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Then pick your taste profile: Are you in the mood for something smoky while you sit by the fireplace? Endlessly searching for spice? Or maybe you want something bright and fruity to welcome in the warmer weather. Here you'll find versions of modified classics, like A Moderate Mule, Cucumber Collins, and Honey Sidecar, alongside John's unique creations, including Tahini Dreamsicle, a rich, nostalgic nod to the favorite childhood dessert; Arctic Cooler, a "sophisticated" take on blue Gatorade; and Rocking Chair Punch, the perfect setting for canned peaches and Earl Grey tea. Inclusive and accessible, The Nonalcoholic Bar ensures everyone can have a really great drink.

Kanpai
Lift a glass to the story of sake--from Japanese homebrew to global phenomenon. Sake, Japan's iconic rice-based alcoholic drink, has been central to Japanese culture for over 1,300 years. Traditionally made with rice, water, and koji mold, it was consumed in early brewpubs and was vital to samurai rituals and festivals. Sake's story includes homebrewers like clan matriarchs, ancient princes, and modern political activists who defied laws to keep homebrewing alive. Temples refined sake-making techniques, laying the foundation for a thriving industry that became a major economic force for shoguns and the modern state. Kanpai is the first history of sake in English, exploring its evolution from homebrew to flavored varieties, and its cultural significance and global rise--including its growing popularity and production in North America and Europe. The book also shows how sake has shaped Japanese food, society, and traditions.

Smart Mouth
A smart, witty, and delightfully informative guide to discovering and embracing wine, from the lauded former sommelier of Eleven Madison Park and Momofuku and the founder of Ramona spritzes. Jordan Salcito was drawn to wine from a young age (her father shared memories of making wine with his father in their basement in their Italian American community), but she didn't encounter great wine until she moved to New York and started working harvests at world-renowned wineries in Burgundy. Over the years of sommelier exams, wine tastings, and creating award-winning programs at top restaurants, she honed her palate and her own criteria for choosing the perfect bottle for any occasion. Using her personal journey as a template, she demystifies this beloved beverage for everyone, sharing vital information so you can be confident in finding wines that you love, too. Jordan starts with a framework for tasting wine (where it all begins), then leads you through the wine making process, from the importance of soil quality to the best harvesting practices, explaining how each decision influences the final wine. She offers invaluable advice on navigating restaurant wine lists and cultivating your own tastes so you can find your new favorites. Jordan also teaches you how to define a personalized criteria so you can identify what you love, and then drink it. Full of practical advice on understanding your beverage arsenal, historical tidbits that make the world of wine make more sense, and illustrations and infographs, Smart Mouth gives you permission to feel smart about wine and then go forth with confidence, drinking what you love. You'll know what wine tools you actually need and what to get instead of Champagne when you're hosting on a budget. The wine world is large, but figuring out what you love doesn't have to be overwhelming. The only expert in what tastes delicious to you is you. Smart Mouth will help you discover what that is.

Both Sides of the Glass
From Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, an innovative cocktail book that caters to a growing trend--mocktails for nondrinkers that are just as delicious and fun as their cocktail counterparts--in a joyful combination of seventy elevated, perfectly paired alcoholic and nonalcoholic recipes that let everyone raise a glass. Neil Patrick Harris loves cocktails. So much that he created the Black Magic Margarita, which is currently served at La Cava Del Tequila in Epcot Center, featured cocktails as a weekly feature in his Wondercade newsletter, and even created a bar in his home that was featured in Architectural Digest. David Burtka is sober. An esteemed chef and entertainer, David did not want to miss out on all of Neil's cocktail fun--he just doesn't want alcohol. Nor did he want to stop the party. The idea of a virgin version of Neil's fabulous cocktails felt depressing to him, so David rose to the challenge to create the most exciting, refreshing, and festive concoctions that he can enjoy while celebrating with others. After seven years of building up their bar and cocktail recipes together, Neil and David are ready to share what they've learned with the world in Both Sides of the Glass, the first guide that combines equally exciting and innovative cocktails and mocktails to suit any mood or event. Together, Neil and David have played with fresh ingredients from their garden, explored flavor profiles from across the globe, and tried almost all the nonalcoholic spirits that have popped up in the past few years to bring you seventy recipes (thirty-five cocktails and thirty-five mocktails) for their very favorite concoctions. With carefully curated beverages organized thematically around the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air), Both Sides of the Glass truly is the cocktail book for the next generation of drinkers and nondrinkers.

Beginning with the ancient days of wassail and hypocras (mixed drinks based on wine and beer), they narrate a tumultuous and vibrant history that stretches through the Age of Exploration, the boozier parts of the Enlightenment and America's hurly-burly nineteenth century, to the Disco years, the Cosmo years, and the modern Cocktail Revolution. Kotz's intricate, masterful drawings illustrate stories that have never been properly told and introduce key characters who haven't yet received their due. Nearly thirty recipes round out this spirited account, featuring accurate versions of old classics and a generous selection of secret weapons from the mixologist's vest pocket. So, settle in with your libation of choice and prepare to meet the good, the bad, and the boozy in this lively and jam-packed tale.
