Description
The massively popular trend of low-alcohol (or "session") cocktail culture gets the rockstar treatment from distillery owner Steven Grasse and IACP-award winning food and beverage journalist Adam Erace. The successful team, whose previous books netted 15k copies, brings readers an entertaining heavy, lifestyle focused, and music inflected ode-complete with cocktails, small bites, playlists, and stunning photographs.
"Session-able" cocktails rethink classic drinks with low-ABV swaps for more "cheers!" without feeling woozy. In this book, distillery owner Steven Grasse and IACP-award winning food and beverage journalist Adam Erace's master mixology are accompanied by eight cool, occasion-styled mixtapes from Grammy Award-winning drummer Charlie Hall.
This vibey package is full of inspiration for low or no-alcohol drinks and sessions, such as:
- A lighter, Fino sherry-based Palomino and a 50/50 Martini Bar paired with shining tunes from George Harrison, Stevie Wonder, and Kacey Musgraves
- A Peach Tea-sling Sangria and a caffeinated Carajillow for brunch accompanied by a cherry tomato, prosciutto, and arugula quiche, paired with a playlist including Al Green, Percy Sledge, and Aretha Franklin
Clever cocktails, delicious food, scene-setting music-your good time is now in session.

Persons
Steven Grasse is an entrepreneur equally influenced by punk rock and New England transcendentalism. After creating some of the most outrageous booze brands of the twenty-first century seemingly out of thin air (Hendrick's Gin, Sailor Jerry Rum, Art in the Age Craft Spirits), he opened the award-winning Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 2015. Steven is also the author of Colonial Spirits: A Toast To Our Drunken History, The Good Reverend's Guide to Infused Spirits, Evil Empire, the IACP-nominated The Cocktail Workshop, and Brand Mysticism. He lives and works in Philadelphia, but his heart is always at his farmhouse in the White Mountains.
