Cocktails, cocktail ingredients (i.e. syrup), nuts, olives, traditional dishes, fire-safety for bartenders, and so much more. Wonderful pictures make this a perfectly hygge read/recipe book for entertaining a few friends, or a lot of friends. There is something in this for everyone.

By the way, I've tried the Spanish Coffee. This drink is wow! I love it! ( )

Northern Hospitality with The Portland Hunt + Alpine Club
A Celebration of Cocktails, Cooking, and Coming Together
by Andrew Volk, Briana Volk

What I found in the pages of this book were beautiful photos, entertaining stories, wonderful recipes for foods I have never tasted, cocktails with ingredients that sound intriguing and personal anecdotes and words of wisdom shared by the authors. I wondered how so many unique ideas had come to mind and who might have tasted the variations until one cocktail was finalized and named then shared with others. I believe that Andrew and Briana must have an establishment that draws people in, provides a warm atmosphere and then hooks the guest making them want to return again and again. Sadly I do not live near enough to visit but do believe someday I would like to see Maine and stop in to try a cocktail and say hello.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Voyageur Press for the ARC - This is my honest review.
