Media Reviews
Some of the most pleasant hours I've ever spent have involved sipping spritzes, nibbling from little bowls of olives or potato chips or whatnot, and watching the life of whatever Italian town I'm in go by as the waiter lazily circles around to see if I d like another. Spritz is the perfect introduction to that unique culture. * David Wondrich, author of Imbibe! and Punch *
This book should be a homebar staple ... each recipe sound better and more impossibly tasty than the last! * Drink Up London *
The book ... would live nicely atop a crowded bar cart, beautifully illustrated, and filled with anecdotes and recipes for classic takes as well as more modern iterations from top bartenders. * Vanity Fair *

The authors make an excellent case for the chic, Italian-style cocktail bubbly, low in alcohol, and with an edge of bitterness, it's ideal for sipping in the golden hour before dinner. * Bloomberg *
The beautiful tome explores the history of the classic cocktail and provides 50 different recipes for drinks and snacks to try at home. Each recipes sits beside a full colour photograph and elegantly chosen typography. * Mental Floss *
