Product Description

Wine cocktails have long been a part of the cocktail culture in Europe, and in this 50-recipe, full-color book, cocktail connoisseur A.J. Rathbun shows Americans how easy it is to create memorable cocktails with more than just Champagne. Recipes make use of the many wine varietals, liquors, liqueurs, and fresh fruits and other mixers that have become readily available in recent years to make such drinks as Aloha Punch, Blue Train, Sake'd Saint, Whistling Orange, and Cactus Berry-unique and delicious alternatives to the conventional cocktail!

Parting the Red Sea
I'm not a huge wine drinker. Okay, not even a sometimes wine drinker. I'll have a sangria once in awhile, but never order wine with my dinner or when at a bar. What this means when I'm invited over for wine with friends, is usually beating a path directly to their liquor cabinet. Finally, this book (which all of my friends are getting copies of) lets me appreciate wine, with the extra punch of juice/soda/liqueur I require in order to find it tasty.

The recipes are so good here, that there really doesn't seem to be a good enough reason to drink wine on its own anymore anyway. And honestly, who can resist drinks with names like the Italian Adonis, Monks Converge, Magic Man, and Witch in White?

Excellent!
I've only recently gotten into A.J Rathbun's cocktail and drinks books - this one only furthers my trust in him. Great recipes - something I have never done with wine. I'm really excited to experiment and this book makes it easy to do so. Great photos and more lively than some of my other drink books.

I was not aware that this could be done. New worlds open.
Who knew that so much could be done with wine? I though cocktails had to have a boozy base, but Rathbun shows how much more can be created with the overlooked bottle. Never much of a wine drinker, I am newly interested in this side of entertaining. I'm certainly never going to order a wine cocktail out on the town, but at home it ought to be the onrushing wave. Great pictures, too, like all of Rathbun's books.
