Party Drinks: 62 Nonalcoholic Dirty Sodas, Punches & More To Celebrate!

What makes this book different is the type of nonalcoholic drink it features: a “dirty” soda that is a syrup and soda water blend with or without the addition of extra flavors and cream. The opening pages feature the common ingredients one will find in these specialty sodas, tips and types of drinks (refreshers, punches, lemonades), and useful tools, such as a blender, muddler, and various glasses. Many of the highlighted ingredients—chocolate, fruit, herbs, salt, and spices—are common kitchen staples, making this a book readers can pick up and try out right away. There is a section on syrups (simple, fruit, mint), creams, and ice cubes and ice rings before the book’s delicious drink recipes. While the idea of soda and cream may not initially appeal to everyone, after drifting through gorgeous images of a sweet and creamy breakfast soda with coffee ice cubes and concoctions like the Summery Sunset Swim, the Decadent Black Forest, an elegant blueberry-lavender spritz, and a classic root-beer float, readers will likely be sold.
