Finally settling in around your campground is certainly an occasion worth toasting. From setting up your tent to kindling a fire before dark, braving mother nature takes a lot out of you. Camp Cocktails by Emily Vikre makes it easy to soak in the fruits of that labor with a collection of drinks that are simple to make when you’re in the midst of the great outdoors. Each drink uses simple ingredients for a rustic charm that is perfect whether you’re stargazing under the night sky or need a refreshing reprieve from the sun.
Vikre brings all other expertise to this book, from her education in food policy to her ownership of USA Today’s best craft distillery — Vikre Distillery. Camp Cocktails includes drinks that are perfect for any time of the year whether you’re reconnecting with nature in the middle of the summer or reveling in the fall foliage. The Flask Boulevardier and Northwoods Sidecar are a few of the crisp, refreshing cocktail recipes that help you bear with the scorching heat. On the other hand, Spiked Hot Apple Cider, Penicillin Toddies, and Salted Nutella Hot Chocolate are guaranteed to keep you as warm as a campfire once the sun sets and the brisk air cascades through your campsite. The easy-to-follow instructions inside of this 192-page hardcover recipe book help you take the open bar into the open air.
