A cocktail book introducing a new canon of low-proof drinks that highlight fresh flavors and facilitate conviviality, featuring more than 60 inventive and delicious recipes.

Bartenders are increasingly moving away from strong, spirituous cocktails toward a lighter canon of low-alcohol drinks that you can drink all day. These drinks provide an occasion for more leisurely socializing through their "sessionability"--you can have a few at a time without having to go down for a nap. Driven by a renewed interest in aperitifs and the increasing availability of liqueurs and amari in the U.S., these drinks provide new creative opportunities for professional bartenders and home hosts alike. Session Cocktails explores this trend through the history and evolution of low-proof drinks, tips on building a low-ABV (alcohol by volume) bar, and more than 60 recipes appropriate for occasions ranging from brunch to the end of the night, contributed by some of the industry's best-known mixologists including Will Elliot, Natasha David, Dale DeGroff, and Leo Robitschek. In addition to drinks like the Mermaid Parade (Aperol, raspberry liqueur, grapefruit juice, and egg white), the Soft Shock (fino sherry, gin, lime, and mint), and Far East Side (sake, elderflower, tequila, and lemon), the book also features low-proof versions of your favorite classic cocktails.

White Negroni Sbagliato

Toby Cecchini, The Long Island Bar, Brooklyn, New York

For several years, Toby Cecchini has participated in a seminar at the American Institute of Architects that involves him devising original drinks inspired by the work of visiting architects. When he discovered that Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, a wife and husband team, loved sparkling wine and Negronis, respectively, he fused those beverages with their professional aesthetic: heavy on glass and elaborate landscape work. Carpano bianco vermouth, Suze, and prosecco are nearly translucent, while the dramatic cucumber garnish signifies the greenery. It’s a creative marriage of the modern classic White Negroni and the Milanese classic Negroni Sbagliato.

Glass

Rocks.

Garnish

Cucumber Ribbon, Orange Twist.

Recipe.

Pour all the ingredients over a large cube of ice in a rocks glass, then garnish with the cucumber ribbon and orange twist.

Ingredients

4 ounces prosecco
1 ounce Suze

Though some of the ingredients are rather exotic depending on where you live (just try to find Suze in Idaho) the book is heavy on accessible ingredients like sherries, wines and vermouths

This is a delightful little cocktail book. Though some of the ingredients are rather exotic depending on where you live (just try to find Suze in Idaho) the book is heavy on accessible ingredients like sherries, wines and vermouths. You'll need a few bitters but none of the crazy ones (mole bitters, anyone?). You might need to do some internet surfing to figure out the difference between dry vermouths and sweet, and the different kind of sherries, but all can be done. My favorite drink in the book: The Basilina. Absolutely a summer go to when you have a garden full of basil!

Great collaboration

This takes the perspective of many bartenders across the world to make a cohesive slice of a certain kind of mixing. The guidelines aren't hard or set, but rather provides a general framework for making less alcoholic and more flavorful drinks that won't kill you nearly as quickly. I've loved the drinks in here and it has completely changed my approach to making drinks for myself.

I've been looking for a book of low-alcohol cocktails that I can make for parties and for our dinners. This book is perfect! I love all the specific chapters, the wide array of recipe choices, the photos are high quality, there are snippet quotes from various mixologists. A current addition to my bar books.

I consider myself an aficionado of dry martinis and red wine, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed a “Pimm’s” cocktail at a friend’s house. It had many subtle flavors -strawberry, cucumber, lime and lemon juice, and Pimm’s liqueur. (In retrospect, since I love subtle food flavors, I should not have been surprised that I loved subtle drink flavors.) I looked it up, found it has a gin base (like my beloved martinis), and found there is a gourmet movement to reviving and developing much more complicated and subtle cocktails called “Session” cocktails. I bought this wonderful book and have been experimenting with these drinks for myself and my friends, with great shared enjoyment. This book is great for anyone who likes to think about tastes and colors – wonderful recipes and beautiful photos. Plus, it’s well written and describes some fascinating history about drinking. And, though these are low alcohol cocktails, you can still drink whatever else along with them!

HAPPY

To have such variety in 'light' drinks is huge.

This is yet the best cocktail book I purchased recently. I almost love ever recipe and dying to start except I just recently had a fall and pneumonia afterwards thus the pills don't mix well with the alcohol...but soon! One huge question: where can I get my hands on the Domaine Pasquet's Marie Framboise. Nothing else will do.

I bought this as a gift for someone who was specifically looking for new and unique recipes with low volume alcohol. This book did the trick, and I also found several recipes that I have begun to use as well. Delish!

This book is great! The recipes are all easy to use and the drinks look awesome. I’ve only tried one so far and it was very good. I’m going to be using this book a lot this summer as the drinks are perfect for entertaining and not having a yard full of wasted adults! Money well spent, I highly recommend.

Really interesting to see the other side of the cocktail coin. Nice to see spirits like sherry and vermouth getting some spotlight. Definitely going to try some of these out this summer! Great addition to my cocktail book shelf.
