Book Review: The Artisanal Kitchen: Holiday Cocktails: The Best Nogs, Punches, Sparklers, and Mixed Drinks for Every Festive Occasion by Nick Mautone

The Artisanal Kitchen: Holiday Cocktails: The Best Nogs, Punches, Sparklers, and Mixed Drinks for Every Festive Occasion The Artisanal Kitchen: Holiday Cocktails: The Best Nogs, Punches, Sparklers, and Mixed Drinks for Every Festive Occasion by Nick Mautone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short book, but filled with wonderful holiday cocktail recipes.  I originally downloaded it because we were looking for a hot buttered rum recipe, but discovered quite a few others to try during this Christmas season!  Pictures are included for most of the recipes.  One really helpful thing is that each recipe indicates the glass that it should be served in.  My only quibble is that they indicate that champagne or prosecco should be refrigerated for 30 minutes prior to serving.  In my honest opinion, I think it should be refrigerated for at least 4-8 hours before serving!
