Synopsis

Liqueurs - infusions that meld liquor with fruits, herbs, and spices - are once again an '' it'' beverage. In Luscious Liqueurs; 50 Recipes for Sublime and Spirited Infusions to Sip and Savor, mixologist A.J. Rathbun shows readers how easy and fun it is to make their favorite liqueurs at home. An informative introduction demystifies the process of preparing homemade liqueurs and explains how to set up an efficient (and fun!) '' liqueur laboratory.'' With just a few fresh ingredients and A.J.'s expert guidance, liqueur lovers will be whipping up batches of sweet, spicy, fruity, and exotic mixtures that cost less and taste better than any store - bought bottle. Recipes include Righteous Raspberry, Limoncello, Cinnamon Snap, Heroic Hazelnut, Scotch Treat, Irish Cream, Anisetter, Mandarino, and 42 other tempting liqueurs photographed in stylish full color. They are perfect for sipping on their own or in cocktails, and make memorable gifts, too!

Review:

The book itself is lovely enough to give as a gift...filled with beautifully-enticing photographs and well-written instructions. Most of the recipes require some time for the liqueur to set...but the end result will be worth the wait. --Suite101.com

Praise for Good Spirits: Very good, accessible cocktail recipes, delivered with a chaser of humor, history, criticism and insight. --Newsday

Praise for Good Spirits: In this gorgeous guide to every cocktail imaginable, Rathbun breaks out the 12 chapters not by ingredients but by useful, or at least amusing, categories. The scores of full-color photos are thirst inducing and add an irresistible retro charm to the proceedings. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
