Do you enjoy a nice adult beverage once in a while? I definitely do. I love a cold vodka lemonade in the summer…a nice dirty martini on a Saturday night…even a spiked cider or hot chocolate sitting by a bonfire.

Can Real Foodies drink co*cktails? Sure, co*cktails can fit into a Real Food lifestyle…if they are made with good ingredients. And that, of course, is the problem with most of the co*cktail fixings you will find at the store or your local bar.

Here are 10 things I love about this book:

1. Educational.

She goes over all the tools and glassware you need in a stocked bar. She defines all of the terminology you need to make co*cktails as well as describes and defines a huge variety of liquors. She gives you the lowdown on everything from absinthe to campari to different types of whiskeys.

2. Well organized.

There are two indexes and a detailed table of contents that make finding what you need super easy. She indexes in alphabetical order as well as by liquor-type. No need to scroll through pages and pages to find your recipe.

3. Recipes for liqueurs.

Many of the liqueurs that you buy at the store contain horrible ingredients. She gives easy recipes for making your own creme de cacao, creme de menthe and orange liqueur (triple sec) and more! No more sacrificing your Real ingredient concerns for your co*cktail!

4. Recipes for garnishes and flavorings.

Three of my favorites are her all-natural grenadine, sweetened condensed milk and non-alcoholic marashcino cherries (although I bet her bourbon cherries are pretty tasty too). She even includes some fermented recipes with fermented hot sauce, limes, worcestershire sauce as well as fermented beverages (root beer, cola, ginger beer to name a few).

5. Infused vodkas.

Did you know that many of the popular brands of flavored vodkas are artificially flavored? Make your own citrus or apple vodka by following her simple directions.

**6. Basic co*cktail recipes**.

Easy all natural recipes for martinis (all kinds), manhattans, old fashioned, daiquiris, sidecars, jack roses and margaritas.

**7. Classic and Contemporary co*cktail recipes.**

She gives all natural recipes for everything from from basic drinks like a bellini, mojito or a cosmo to fun sounding co*cktails such as a ‘cherry kiss', a ‘glog' and a ‘sazerac.' Makes me want to make old favorites and experiment with new recipes.

**8. Holiday co*cktail recipes.**

‘Tis the season! Have plenty of natural co*cktails on hand for your holiday party. Eggnog, hot buttered rum, spiced cider and more!

9. Recipes for both alcoholic and non-alcholic drinks and garnishes.

Not a huge fan of alcohol? There are plenty of recipes for non-alcholic beverages and garnishes in here. I can't wait to start making my daughter natural kiddie co*cktails!

10. The size and scope of this e-book.

This is such an extensive creation. You will be pulling ideas and recipes from this book for years to come.

This e-book would make a great addition to your Real Food kitchen library! Feel better about making yourself a natural co*cktail using real ingredients.
