What makes a cocktail a virgin? In practical terms, fresh fruits, ice, just-pressed juices, and an excellent recipe—such as the 125 fabulous ones found here. Each of these delicious drinks is untouched by alcohol, shaken to perfection, balanced in all flavors, garnished properly, and served in just the right glass. Some of the recipes have remained favorites over the decades, such as the innocent Shirley Temple (Club soda or 7-Up, Grenadine, and a maraschino cherry to top). Plus, there’s the weird sounding Prairie Oyster, the nonalcoholic hangover “cure”; a Virgin Mary (no vodka); Forest Fizz; and Ginger Alert. All feel like sin—but won’t go to your head. Perfect for those who don’t imbibe alcohol but love to indulge.

Replete with 125 recipes, plus detailed explanations of fruit preparation, garnishes and mixing tools, this fun and readable volume is a big boon for the non-alcoholic cocktail-drinker. Award-winning bartender and prolific author Calabrese (Classic Cocktails, etc.) begins with a slightly silly introduction—he imagines drinking a virgin cocktail on a Virgin Island—but quickly settles down to the business of serving up recipes for mouth-watering drinks. Calabrese’s recipes focus on fresh juices, like lime and mango, but his other "liquid essentials" include coconut cream, fresh gingerroot, tabasco sauce, club soda, ginger ale and orgeat (almond syrup). The results range from sweet Coconut Sublimes and spicy Star Anise Cocktails to sharp Limeys and bitter Prairie Hens. Color photos.
