Both Sides of the Glass

From Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, an innovative cocktail book that caters to a growing trend--mocktails for nondrinkers that are just as delicious and fun as their cocktail counterparts--in a joyful combination of seventy elevated, perfectly paired alcoholic and nonalcoholic recipes that let everyone raise a glass. Neil Patrick Harris loves cocktails. So much that he created the Black Magic Margarita, which is currently served at La Cava Del Tequila in Epcot Center, featured cocktails as a weekly feature in his Wondercade newsletter, and even created a bar in his home that was featured in Architectural Digest . David Burtka is sober. An esteemed chef and entertainer, David did not want to miss out on all of Neil's cocktail fun -- he just doesn't want alcohol. Nor did he want to stop the party. The idea of a virgin version of Neil's fabulous cocktails felt depressing to him, so David rose to the challenge to create the most exciting, refreshing, and festive concoctions that he can enjoy while celebrating with others. After seven years of building up their bar and cocktail recipes together, Neil and David are ready to share what they've learned with the world in Both Sides of the Glass , the first guide that combines equally exciting and innovative cocktails and mocktails to suit any mood or event. Together, Neil and David have played with fresh ingredients from their garden, explored flavor profiles from across the globe, and tried almost all the nonalcoholic spirits that have popped up in the past few years to bring you seventy recipes (thirty-five cocktails and thirty-five mocktails) for their very favorite concoctions. With carefully curated beverages organized thematically around the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air), Both Sides of the Glass truly is the cocktail book for the next generation of drinkers and nondrinkers.
