Cabin Cocktails: Year-Round Drinks for Cozy Cottages, Lakeside Lounging, and All Things Après (Great Outdoor Cooking) [9781577157328]

Raise a glass to cabin life with these 70 seasonal drinks for every escape.

There’s something captivating about a cabin—whether it’s tucked in the woods, perched by a quiet lake, or nestled in a ski village. And no matter the season, the right drink makes the moment. Cabin Cocktails is your year-round companion for sipping and savoring with family and friends, offering 70 recipes that celebrate the good life—and the good times.

From hot toddies by the fire to refreshing spritzes for lakeside lounging, this book is filled with drinks that fit the season, the setting, and the mood. With gorgeous lifestyle photography, easy-to-follow recipes, and practical tips for stocking a cabin bar, Cabin Cocktails helps you bring a touch of hygge and après culture to any gathering—whether you’re entertaining a crowd or mixing something special for yourself.

Divided into three seasonal sections, you’ll find libations, tipples, and sips for:

• Après… skiing, skating, sledding, snow-fort building, such as a Hot Buttered Pecan Whiskey, Spiced Pear Mulled White Wine, Salted Chestnut Old Fashioned, or a Plum and Brandy Espresso Martini
• Après… boating, swimming, kayaking, yard gaming, sun soaking, including a Tomato-Basil Gin and Tonic, Floral Gimlet, Dirty Shirley Float, and Fancy Pitcher Margaritas
• Après… hiking, biking, apple picking, leaf peeping, fishing, hunting, such as an Herbal Highball, Gingersnap Old Fashioned, Autumnal Toddy, and Alpine Spritz

Also included are spirit-free mocktails that bring the same flair without the alcohol, making this the perfect companion for all après gatherings.

Whether your escape is a mountain chalet, a lakeside cottage, or a backyard firepit, Cabin Cocktails will inspire you to slow down, pour generously, and savor the moment. This stylish book is perfect for cabin owners, cocktail lovers, travelers, and anyone who appreciates the charm of carefree living.
