101 Champagne Cocktails
by Kim Haasarud
As a creator of original cocktails for a slew of high profile clients, Kim Haasarud has made beverages her business. Her new book employs classic Champagnes and sparkling wines from Spain to the Napa Valley as the foundation for each effervescent concoction. Thanks to festive ingredients and the striking images from New York photographer Alexandra Grablewski, the brightly hued brews leap off the page and an aura of celebrations permeates this collection of bubbly libations. From new twists on old favorites (see the Champagne Julep or Sparkling Margarita) to unique blends (a mixture of lemon sorbet, gin and champagne garnished with edible flowers comes to mind), the book will inspire holiday hosts to break out the cocktail shakers, pop some bottles and start making merry.
