Tiny Cocktails

Discover the art of miniature drinks that pack a full punch and create cocktail flights at home with 60 small pours full of complex flavors and measured luxury. “Artfully photographed . . . a brilliant mix of recipes using popular ingredients, techniques and tools that faithfully capture our contemporary zeitgeist.”—Jim Meehan, author of Meehan’s Bartender Manual Tiny Cocktails offers a unique and creative approach to mixology for those who want to savor delicious cocktails without overindulging. The recipes showcase smaller drinks with big flavors—an ideal way to explore new flavors and refine your mixology skills without making a full-drink commitment. Each drink comes in around 3-6 ounces, with about half the alcoholic punch of a full-sized cocktail. There are pre-dinner libations to welcome guests, caffeinated cocktails in small doses so they don’t keep you up at night, and over-the-top indulgences that make a delicious treat. Try the fresh and fluffy Tropical Garibaldi made with coconut Campari and orange and pineapple juices, the richly indulgent Armagnac and amaro French Kiss accented with cocoa nibs, or the Wee Irish Coffee that downsizes the iconic drink into something you can easily enjoy after dinner. The drinks are complex in flavor but easy to put together with a simple stir or shake. Along the way you’ll learn techniques and simple ways to up your bartending game, make infused liquors and syrups to enhance your drinks, and get tips on selecting the right glassware to make your tiny drinks look top shelf. Featuring recipes for different occasions, essential tools and ingredients, contributions from renowned bartenders, and bold and immersive photography from Eric Medsker, Tiny Cocktails is the perfect addition to any cocktail enthusiast‘s collection.
