Market Fresh Mixology Presents Life, Love, Happiness, and Cocktails takes you on a journey through life's moments, with classic and uniquely designed cocktail recipes designed to match each one. The story behind a cocktail is just as important as the contents of the glass, and this book is a celebration of those stories. Let the warm sweetness of one of our rum cocktails transport you to a Caribbean beach, or imagine yourself in a sunny canal-side cafe sipping the Remembering Venice, our take on the Aperol Spritz. At-home bartenders will be inspired by the 40 recipes found in these pages and the heartfelt reflections that accompany each fresh, simple, and fun cocktail. The book also features the voices of many of the world's most renowned mixologists, including Tony Abou-Ganim, Julie Reiner, Kim Haasarud, Gary Gruver, and Zahra Bates, who share their authentic recipes and the personal stories behind their creations. Master Mixologist Bridget Albert's fresh and simple approach to cocktails shines through in her luscious and inviting recipes. Nothing could be more decadent than her Summer in Manhattan float, which pairs bourbon with ice cream, or simpler than her classic Gin Martini. Mary Barranco celebrates the journey of life by sharing the stories, quotes, and moments of optimism, struggle, revelation, empowerment, joy, lust, or love that accompany each delicious recipe. Market Fresh Mixology Presents Life, Love, Happiness and Cocktails features glorious photographs created by master photographer David P. MacDonald and photographers Mikayla Kocicek and Patrick McShaffrey. The lavish cocktail photos shot by MacDonald, one of the UK's most celebrated photographers, beautifully tell their own stories, while the colorful and edgy approaches of McShaffery and Kocicek elevate the story behind each stunning cocktail.
