At Brooklyn’s Butter & Scotch, everything is made by hand, and seasonal, inventive flavors are created to satisfy any sweet tooth—especially those with a penchant for spirits. In their namesake cookbook, Allison Kave and Keavy Landreth dish up more than 75 recipes for incredible desserts, cocktails, and creations that shake up the traditional approach to booze and sweets. From buttery, cinnamon-y Magic Buns for breakfast to gourmet Hot Toddies at evening’s end, Butter & Scotch provides recipes for any time of day. The book is packed with popular recipes: world-renowned S’mores Bars, Dark & Stormy Cocktail Caramel Corn, Pie Milkshakes, Maple Bacon Cupcakes, and yes, even Jell-O shots.
In addition to recipes, Kave and Landreth share the basics behind their recipes—the techniques, ingredients, and essential equipment needed to make the desserts and cocktails. They also suggest pairings, offer base recipes for creative experimentation, and tell you exactly how to cook with alcohol.
This cookbook combines two things people love to indulge in—confections and cocktails. Butter & Scotch is a grown-up’s dream come true.
Also available from Allison Kave: First Prize Pies.

Review
I love cocktails, and I love desserts, so it’s nice to find a great place that combines the two. The only issue for me is that it’s 3000 miles, or 4828 kilometers, away. So I have to wait until I’m in Brooklyn to get my fix. Thankfully, there’s finally this cookbook, which offers recipes for their S’mores Pie—one of the best desserts I’ve ever had—their addictive caramel corn, their Menta Make a Julep, their Rock & Rye Milkshake, their Birthday Cake (which would play a big part in my recipe for happiness) . . . if this is starting to sound loopy, you’ll have to forgive me. Buy this book. ― David Lebovitz, author, My Paris Kitchen

The drinks are fun and inventive, twists on classics and new mixes. The baked goods are very good. In both cases the ingredients are listed and directions are clear and easy to follow. The magic buns are absolutely amazing. Taking up several pages the recipe shows step by step how to make the buns, the result is well worth the effort and once you have the technique down you will be amazing family and friends.
Not all the recipes are sweet, there are savory recipes like smoked trout Benedict.
This is a fun book with delicious and inventive cocktails and delicious baked goods.
Flipping through the book made me not only hungry, but anxious to try my hand at things like Magic Buns (a recipe that spans seven pages – five of which are photographed steps) and Cheese Puffs. The recipes themselves are well laid-out, making it easy to gather ingredients and follow the steps.
Most traditional cookbooks break down recipes by ingredient, meal, etc. Not so Butter & Scotch. This unique cookbook puts recipes into logical, if disorderly, categories such as The Basics (Cakes, Pies, Toppings & Cocktails) and nibbles occasions (Late Night, Brunch, Happy Hour, etc.). If this grates at your OCD soul (I feel ya), don’t worry – the Index of Searchable Terms makes up for any Table of Contents confusion.
