Day Drinking

"Which of these situations would not be greatly improved by a delicious cocktail?

A wedding or baby shower.

A leisurely catch-up with a friend.

Family reunion, complete with games.

Long, idle afternoon at the beach, or the unexpected excitement of a snow day.

Obviously the answer is none, which may be why the newest trend in drinking is the low-alcohol cocktail, that perfect quaff when you want to have a drink--or two or three--but not get drunk.

Using wine, beer, sake, hard cider, vermouth, sherry, along with liqueurs like St-Germain and bitter aperitifs like Campari and Aperol, these fifty festive sippers are mouthwateringly delicious, while providing the mellowest of buzzes."--
