Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Full of unpretentious recipes and useful tips and tricks for those who might need to resort to using a sports water bottle instead of a two-piece Boston shaker, this guide, from globally acclaimed bartender Evelyn Chick, provides readers with access to a world of flavors and sensations--those typically reserved for high-end cocktail bars--without having to leave home. Readers will quickly learn that a good cocktail is not found in how complex it is to create, the rarity of spirits, or the quality of the barware they have. A good cocktail is about joyful pursuit: being unafraid to make mistakes and the willingness to try something new. From zero-proof and cannabis-infused cocktails, to beautiful and refreshing twists on cocktail-hour staples to whimsical new creations inspired by the people and places in Chick's life, readers are sure to find their next after-work cocktail, celebration drink, canna-curious adventure, or backyard party favour among these pages. Presented in a unique mood-based format, For the Love of Cocktails will not simply guide readers on how to make drinks according to spirit or flavor, but instead, provides inspiration for drink-making based on the mood the bartender is in (or the one they hope to inspire). The result is a wholesome appeal to readers to wholly consider their beverage options, and to embrace an ethos of drink-making that both inspires a great appreciation for spirits and builds a deep connection to the liquid in the glass."-- Provided by publisher.

- Ivy Mix, American Bartender of the Year (2015 Spirited Awards), Mixologist of the Year (2016, Wine Enthusiast ), co-owner Leyenda, Brooklyn
