Wine Cocktails
Wine cocktails have long been a part of the cocktail culture in Europe, and in this 50-recipe, full-color book, cocktail connoisseur A.J. Rathbun shows Americans how easy it is to create memorable cocktails with more than just Champagne. Recipes make use of the many wine varietals, liquors, liqueurs, and fresh fruits and other mixers that have become readily available in recent years to make such drinks as Aloha Punch, Blue Train, Sake'd Saint, Whistling Orange, and Cactus Berry-unique and delicious alternatives to the conventional cocktail!
