When the days grow longer and the air gets crisp, it’s time to gather with friends for drinks that’ll put a rosy glow on your cheeks. In Winter Cocktails, María del Mar Sacasa and Tara Striano share more than 100 seasonal recipes for cold-weather cocktails, like Hot Buttered Rum, English Christmas Punch, Pumpkin-Bourbon Eggnog, Irish Coffee, Coquito, Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, the Old-Fashioned (and the New-Fangled!), Mama’s Remedy, and the Kentucky Baby.

Detailed, in-depth chapters cover hot toddies, mulled wines, and mulled ciders; spiked hot chocolates, eggnogs, coffees, and teas; punches and pitchers for serving a crowd; and chilled winter cocktails that have a magical warming effect.

Title: Hot Buttered Goodness
Review: Butterscotch eggnog. Mulled white wine. Spiked hot cocoa.If you're more the type to look towards brandy than brownies to warm yourself up when it gets nippier than a poorly trained chow-chow then this book will get plenty of use as you joyfully stain pages with tangerine juice. A number of additional support recipes are provided such as various infusions, snacks, and how to make marshmallows for your cocoa. Basic bar techniques are also covered in photographic detail.I spent about four minutes in the store with this book before I decided to take it home (not without a quick stop at the store for the ingredients so my night would be filled with hot buttered rum laced with mace and vanilla bean).

Title: Beautiful book with lots of unique recipes
Review: Early Grey, Lavender, hot chocolate, buttered rum, nutella, infusions and mullng spices oh my!The book has a nice graphic quality to it and a nice layout and small touches like the ribbon book mark make it feel luxurious and beautiful and definitely gift-worthy. Would make a great gift along with some whiskey stones and spices and spirits for a single recipe, that you could use the built-in ribbon to mark.

Title: It also has wonderful additional sections
Review: For those interested in experimenting and researching the concept of hot alcoholic drinks, this book contains lots of ideas. It does address the basics of the more traditional drinks. But then adds a interesting concepts such as using bacon-infused bourbon.It also has wonderful additional sections. There is a section is on bar basics such as garnishes, glassware, opening champagne, etc. Another section is on how to make many of the nonstandard ingredients such as bacon-infused bourbon, various simple syrups, etc. Further sections cover interesting related recipes such as how to make homemade marshmallows, candied bacon, Mexican wedding cakes, etc.All in all an interesting book chocked full of ideas. It is also beautifully illustrated with many wonderful pictures. Certainly a fun book to read while sipping on a hot toddy on a winter's evening.

Review: I saw this book first at the Whole Foods market priced somewhere around $25. I loved that it had so many beautiful photos and great recipes, so I thought this would be a fun book to include in the wine gift baskets I'm making for a few people for Christmas, but decided to check Amazon first to see if I could find the book at a better price. Yep! Glad I checked. I bought 5 of these books on Amazon.

Review: "When the days grow longer" Ummmm I'm not sure where you live, but in the USA, the days grow shorter in winter. Major editing oversight.

Title: The only book to make you wish for a long winter
Review: This is a well thought out selection of adult beverages to keep you warm from October to March. The recipe ideas go from basic to very sophisticated. Also useful are a myriad of clearly described techniques to infuse spirits and sweeteners with layers of flavor. Keep this little book by your home bar and you may never go cold again.

Review: Very good book with lots of information about making cocktails. I would have wished for a little bit more hot cocktails that were not eggnogs/toddys, but otherwise perfect.
