This stylish little book is perfect as a gift for any cocktail lover… The concept: 52 weeks of Friday cocktails to unwind with after a hard week at work, arranged by seasonal vibes. Beautiful photography and simple recipes without too many ingredients (but with variations to try and advice on substitutes) really set this book apart.

I appreciate the chance to read a digital review copy - thanks NetGalley - and LOVE that the publisher is women-owned! I have bought a physical copy for my a secret Santa recipient and I hope they love it.

This book presents 52 cocktails, one for each Friday of the year, that use common ingredients, are easy to make, and allow for variations. The author starts by briefly introducing the different barware and glassware items that can be used. Then it's time for the cocktail recipes, organised by season. Some are classic cocktails (amaretto sour, Kir Royale, hot toddy, gin and tonic, etc.) while others such as the pumpkin pie cocktail or the clementine wallbanger are less well known. In addition to the cocktail recipes, the author provides tips throughout the book, such as how to dry citrus, alongside recipes for ingredients such as pomegranate syrup or peach-raspberry purée. Each recipe tells you which type of glass is needed and provides the ingredients and recipe, alongside a suggestion of garnish and a possible variation.

This book is clearly made to be looked at every week and its stunning photographs make this a beautiful coffee table book. I love the art deco look!

A recommended read for cocktail lovers.

Thank you to Netgalley and The Collective Book Studio for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
