“Bursting with wit, whimsy, and a vibrant landscape of spirited drinks illustrated by Olivia McGiff, Cocktails in Color is a delight. Writer and bartender Sammi Katz is the best friend you wish you had, inspiring confidence and sharing the best stories whether she’s breaking down classic cocktail templates, helping you build out your home bar cart, or shaking and stirring up a mix of new-look original drinks.”

“Cocktails in Color will fill you with confidence, curiosity and joy as you become your own new favorite mixologist. Brimming with vibrant illustrations, scores of classic and original recipes, information and techniques, it is not only a useful guidebook but also a convivial invitation to tune into your five senses, explore and create what tickles your taste buds every time you step behind the bar.”

“Sammi and Olivia have created an inventive and gorgeous drinks book that satisfies both the palate and the eye.”

“Two of my favorite things in one book: cocktails and beautiful illustration! And while I would rather head to a fancy bar and get my drink shaken for me, this book makes me believe I should be hosting a party. Chockfull of information and step-by-step instructions plus historical tidbits, I’ll be keeping this book on my living room table for guidance... but also because it looks so darn pretty.”

“What’s not to like about a cocktail book team consisting of a bartender/drinkmaker (Sammi) and barfly/illustrator (Olivia), whose pets’ names are Juniper and Sherry? Break open this attractive, approachable book and you’ll like them even more.”

“This deeply nerdy yet vibrantly accessible guide to cocktail basics would be a super solid addition to any budding mixologist’s library, but even a grizzled veteran like me picked up a thing or two!”
