By
Today’s diners and drinkers are seeing a bold new integration of culinary art and cocktail culture. Market-Fresh Mixology shows how fabulous additions from the farmer’s market, garden, or pantry can elevate classic cocktails to the next level. It introduces an entirely new dimension to the ideal of seasonal cocktails, with a clean, contemporary approach that uses fine spirits and fresh ingredients to create cocktails for every occasion. Hot day? Blustery night? Snowbound? No matter what the weather, season, or event, Market-Fresh Mixology offers a recipe, from the refreshing summer mojito to the cozy hot buttered rum, that’s as easy to follow as it is delicious. With its gorgeous full color photos, the book is a treat for the eyes, but it’s also eminently practical, with tips on cocktail mixing techniques, garnishes, enhancements, glassware, and bar tools, as well as amusing lore surrounding classic cocktails.

Creative, though a little obscure
I was looking for a seasonal cocktail recipe book, and this was the only one I was able to find. I purchased it after reading several positive reviews. It has a great intro into cocktail making, as well as suggestions for infused liquors. And the recipes are very creative, taking taste and aesthetics to a new level. I will say, however, that I wish there were more standard alcohols that were used in the recipes because frankly, I’m not going to go on a big hunt for pumpkin liquor, and it becomes a bit of a frustration when I try to find a cocktail that needs some obscure, expensive liquor that I’m not even sure that I’ll enjoy. If anything, though, this book is helpful in encouraging us to use local and fresh ingredients, even in our cocktails. Most recipes are very easy to make, as long as you have access to the ingredients.
Simply delicious...
I love trying out new drinks and the cocktails that are in this book are not only new and unique, they’re simply delicious. I’ve only tried a handful so far, but each drink has been incredibly tasty and surprisingly easy to make. And the best thing is you’re using all fresh ingredients, and that makes such a huge difference. You will never want to mix a drink with anything else ever again!
If you like unique, fresh, delicious cocktails try at least one recipe from this book and I promise you will love every sip! My favorite drinks so far have been the Blueberry Lavender Mojito and the Fresh Strawberry Daiquiri. Yum!
Simply put Outstanding
I know from personal experience, that each new and different drink is just a great new way to see where Bridget is coming from, be it and old favorite or something new and exiting they are all great, the info on all aspects of Mixology is truly worth the read .Truly said a drink for all seasons is just a page away. Enjoy all that Bridget has written and mixed,and plus the tools of the trade are helpful to any one. As one famous person said shaken not stired, to shake a new mix is to wake up all the flavors and make them come to life. Thanks Bridget… Mike Shorewood Il.
A "Must-Have" at your bar!
Market Fresh Mixology is a brilliant interpretation of how cocktails SHOULD be made. I enjoy the way that Bridget Albert creates a conteporary twist on the classics. The classic cocktails represented are also preceded by a brief explanation of the cocktail and makes the reader aware of it’s place in world history. I also enjoyed how the book is broken down into winter, spring, summer, and autumn based on the produce that is best for that season. This book is a must-have in your home bar or kitchen!
