PERFECT!
Informative, fun, and beautiful to look at. The images that accompany the recipes are beautiful, I want to make them purely based on the beautiful pictures. And then the recipes themselves? Mouthwatering. I rarely even drink but this book has me wanting a fun glass of wine after a hard day's work.
I really had no idea that there were so many ways to drink wine. I thought it was just straight up or sangria. Boy was I wrong, and this recipe book proved that. I'm not a big fan of wine, but these recipes are changing my mind.
Love love this type of book. So many new recipes for Wine drinks. Love that the recipes are for each week of the year with very nice looking photos. I will definitely be looking at these recipes through the year to inspire me for a drink. Also, love the extra information about where the drink comes from or the history of the area. And the ways to make the syrups or extras for the drinks. Simple yet the extra details necessary for a tasty cocktail.
As someone who knows absolutely nothing about wine but has a family full of people who prefer the nice and over the top drinks, this cookbook is such a lifesaver. I’m so thankful to have stumbled across this and start prepping for the weekly countdown that it provides in the book.
This book has some great ideas for cocktails when you want something with lower ABV amounts. Instead of spirit forward cocktail recipes, this book utilizes cocktails that are wine based - including wine, brandy, sherry, and cognac. There are some great spritzer recipes too! I also like the background on the bar ware that you'll need to make the cocktails. I am very excited to give some of these a shot. I thought the recipe for a single serving of sangria was genius, and I can't wait to make it.
Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
