What's in the glass is only half the story. The other half is the moment.
Vibe Drinking isn't just a cocktail book - it's a modern guide to the experience of drinking with intention. Featuring 100 iconic craft cocktails, each recipe is thoughtfully paired with food, mood, and moment to turn simple drinks into something unforgettable.
From fine dining restaurants to rooftop bars, quiet nights in to bold celebrations, Vibe Drinking reflects the evolving culture of how - and why - we gather and drink. Each classic recipe comes with practical guidance: history and origin, ingredients, equipment, technique, and a flavor profile. But it goes further, adding curated food pairings, a bartender's pro tip, and a "Vibe Check" - a unique occasion or experience that gives each cocktail its purpose.
Alongside the recipes, you'll find:
- A streamlined Tools & Equipment guide
- A minimalist Home Bar Essentials section
- Flavor & Pairing Principles to elevate flavor and balance
- A Food Pairing Index for crafting better combinations
- An Occasion Index based on 12 of today's most common drinking occasions - from casual entertaining to seasonal gatherings
- A detailed Glossary of Terms for beginners and seasoned pros alike
- A lyrical closing essay, Cocktails and the Culture of Mood, exploring the emotional rhythm behind modern mixology
Whether you're a home enthusiast, hosting a party, or an industry professional, this book meets you where you are - at the table, at the bar, or at the end of a long day - offering more than a recipe: a full experience.
Designed to be both functional and beautiful, Vibe Drinking makes an ideal wedding gift, housewarming present, holiday surprise, or birthday keepsake - equally at home as decor on a bar cart, a kitchen counter companion, or coffee table centerpiece.
Vibe Drinking helps you craft cocktails not just with skill, but with soul.
