Signature Cocktails & Appetizers from Around the World (Linda Lang's Taste of Travel Book 2)

The pleasures of the palate may change over time but they seldom lessen. As we travel throughout the years and our experiences widen, we continue discover new tastes in food and drink as well as destinations.

One enjoyment many of us share is the art of mixology and sampling new interpretations of familiar cocktails as well as the mixing of ingredients that would not otherwise come to mind. You'll find variations of the familiar martini, margarita and old fashioned, each reflecting the interpretations of talented mixologists and as well as combinations of ingredients that may, in themselves, provide an delightfully unexpected off-road journey.

Open your mind, take a deep breath and fully experience the adventure that awaits you on every page of this book. You'll discover not only interesting twists on old favorites but totally unique cocktail recipes to try with friends. You'll also read stories, descriptions and see beautiful photos of the magnificent hotels, resorts and river cruise lines around the globe that serve these specialties and have shared their recipes with us.
