Bartenders around the world are increasingly turning away from high-octane cocktails in order to embrace a “sessionability” that allows drinkers to consume multiple cocktails at a single social event without fear of passing out or spending the next day woefully hung over. The new, fully-illustrated, hardcover volume Session Cocktails thoroughly explores and celebrates this trend over 160 pages of vital information and drink recipes.
Session Cocktails is the creation of Philadelphia author and journalist Drew Lazor — a frequent contributor to major food and drink publications (such as Bon Appétit, Serious Eats, and PUNCH) as well as leading general periodicals (such as Vice and the Wall Street Journal). Lazor fills Session Cocktails with a brief history of low-proof drinks and plenty of tips on creating your own low-ABV (alcohol by volume) bar. But of course, the big draw of this book is its recipes. You’ll get more than 60 that range from the Mermaid Parade (Aperol, grapefruit juice, raspberry liqueur, and egg white) to the Far East Side (sake, tequila, elderflower, and lemon).
