Summary

Author Kathy Casey says that 'a great drink is just as important as a great dish,' and she should know--she's been creating signature cocktails for cruise lines, luxury hotels, chef's bistros and spirit brands for years. Created with a culinary philosophy and fresh seasonal ingredients, the extraordinary drinks and appetizers in Sips and Apps are impressive enough that home entertainers can keep it simple and let one or two selections speak for themselves. Classic cocktails have made a huge comeback in recent times, and drinks made with fresh, high-quality ingredients can be found at the bars of all the best restaurants and clubs. And nobody wants to drink a cocktail without a delicious snack to go with it! Guests can sip a Pear Thyme Fizz while they nibble on Croque Monsieur Puffs, or perhaps they'd like a spicy Poppy's Margarita to go with their Cha Cha Cashews! Experienced mixologists and newcomers alike will benefit from Kathy's chapters on which ingredients, equipment and glassware will make a modern bar great.
