Craft cocktails meet the great outdoors in this vibrant celebration of
good times and good spirits, from the authors of The Cocktail
Workshop.
What could possibly enhance the natural beauty of a crystal clear lake,
snow-capped mountain, or backyard fire pit? A craft cocktail, of course!
So cozy up by the campfire, pack your cooler for a picnic out at the
lake, or rent a mountainside cabin with your friends--it's time to head
for the woods for some good times and good spirits courtesy of
Backcountry Cocktails.
Inspired by the singular natural beauty of New Hampshire's White
Mountains, this book is a true celebration of entertaining in the
outdoors--with dozens of seasonally-inspired and organized recipes to
enjoy outside, whether you're on an early spring hike or a mid-winter
retreat. Each recipe from authors Steven Grasse and Adam Erace, of The
Cocktail Workshop, captures the energy of hitting the trails in an
elevated yet approachable ode to craft cocktails and the beauty of the
natural world. No matter your cocktailing style, there's something for
everyone, from spiked cocoa to frozen fizzes (perfect for packing as a
treat after an afternoon of hiking), and even foraged creations that
will tie your experience to the land around you. All recipes are
designed to use relatively few ingredients (for easy packability), and
to be both portable and batachable--so you can enjoy them no matter what
kind of adventure you have planned for the day. Each seasonal chapter
also includes a handful of recipes for entertaining, like Crispy
Cast-Iron Trout with Wild Greens, "field guide" how-tos on local experts
covering topics from medicinal plants to preserving fruit, and DIYs
(like fermenting your own vegetables or foraging for mushrooms).
