Publisher's Synopsis
Drink Lightly presents a relaxed style of drinking that goes down easy but is soundly rooted in the technical precision of craft cocktails. In award-winning bartender Natasha David's experienced hands, the classic aperitif transforms into something more: a blank canvas full of uncharted opportunity. Natasha's approach goes far beyond the formulaic-bitter liqueur plus soda-and takes full advantage of the incredible and vast array of low-proof spirits, liqueurs, and wines, along with flavourful fruit and herbal infusions. The result is a collection of creative, genre-pushing drinks that surprise and delight. Offerings are effervescent and light in effect, but complex in flavour, ranging from savoury and herbal to floral and aromatic, depending on your mood. Inspired by the joyful rhythms of life and gathering, recipes include delights such as the Lillet Rouge-spiked Kitty Cat Chronicles and the Wiggle Room, a vermouth & soda on a tropical vacation. The drinks are organized by Gulpabale Thirst Quenchers that go down easy, Party Starters for a crowd, Decadent Treats for frothy rich indulgences, end-of-the-night Slow Sippers, and seventeen non-alcoholic pick-me-ups. Served up with whimsy and a wink, Drink Lightly will delight novices and professionals alike with its joyful spirit and lighthearted offerings.
