Three Cheers

An inventive and inclusive drinks book with 165 cocktail recipes, each one of three variations for classic, riff, and zero-proof versions, from the World Class bartending champion behind Likeable Cocktails. A love letter to cocktails in all their forms, Three Cheers has a drink to suit every mood and occasion. This clever cocktail book offers recipes for three versions of 55 classic cocktails (165 recipes in total!). Whether you like to keep it classic, try a new twist, or a enjoy a spirit-free version, this book gives you all three options: The classic Jungle Bird tropical cocktail has a blackstrap rum base; the modern spin called the City Pigeon has a white rum and gin base; and the spirit-free option, aptly named the Free Bird , has a spirit-free gin base. The classic Cosmopolitan features a cranberry and vodka base; the modern Ru-Paulitan infuses earl grey and limoncello flavors into the original cranberry vodka; and the zero-proof Metropolitan utilizes a nonalcoholic spirit and aperitif. The classic, coffee- and vodka-forward Espresso Martini gets modernized into a Bean Around the World cocktail that swaps vodka for tequila and chile liqueur for a spicy interpretation. The spirit-free Death Before Decaf pairs the espresso with tonic water for a nice, long finish. With a modern and lush photographs, margaritas, Manhattans, negronis, and more are accessible to every palate and every persuasion.
