発行者による作品情報
A giftable collection of 70 cocktails built to fortify against the cold, featuring essential classics; updated riffs on traditional toddies, punches, nogs, and spiked coffees; and thoroughly modern drinks built to channel the season.
Packed with hot, spiced, and buttered seasonal imperatives, plus plenty of nostalgic favorites and homegrown creations, Winter Drinks offers the ultimate collection of cold-weather cocktails, both classic and modern. Curated by the PUNCH editorial team with the help of its network of top bartenders, each recipe has been tested and adapted to contemporary tastes, alongside creative tweaks that offer new ways to incorporate the season's flavors into foolproof drinks. PUNCH covers the ins and outs of making a spirit infusion, how to batch drinks for a crowd, how to bottle favorite stirred drinks and freeze them ahead for on-the-fly Manhattans and martinis, three-step syrups and shrubs to keep on hand, and tips and tools to build a winter-ready bar.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The editors of Punch magazine have put together an enticing medley of cocktails classic and modern to be enjoyed in the winter months. The editors first list the cocktail families, which include the cocktail ("a simple combination of spirit, sweetener, water, and bitters"), the sour ("made with a base spirit, fresh citrus, and a sweetener"), and the Collins ("a sour lengthened with the addition of sparkling water"). "The Essential Winter Classics" section includes recipes for the Manhattan, French 75 (gin, cognac, lemon juice, simple syrup, champagne), and hot buttered rum. The authors sometimes winterize summer drinks, such as the mojito, in which they "sub out white rum for rich, brooding black strap and mint for muddled rosemary." A chapter titled "Herbs, Citrus, Spice" touts the Revolver (bourbon, orange bitters, and a flamed orange twist); and the "Rich, Warming" chapter includes the Amaro Caldo, made with amaro, hot water, and lemon twist. The editors include tips for serving big batches (use ratios rather than multiplying ounces), and suggestions for stocking the pantry. For those looking for ways to celebrate during the dead of winter, this is a smart and handy go-to guide.
