THE BUBBLY BAR: CHAMPAGNE AND SPARKLING WINE COCKTAILS FOR EVERY OCCASION offers a fine blend of cocktail recipes and specific creations gained by mixing sparkling wines with rum, gin, fruit, and more. Intense flavors with minimal effort are the emphasis of this fine collection of creative and affordable champagne recipes.

Like the perfect "little black cocktail dress".... The Bubbly Bar is the "must have" for creating the best flirty seasonal farm to bar drinks! Lush, delicious, fizzy, frothy and zesty...every recipe I have made so far... makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the room. But seriously, the Pure Passion is one of my favorite recipes in the book. Lucky to live in Southern California, so fresh Passion Fruit can be found late summer and through out the fall. The recipes seem easy to follow and I love that fresh "in season" foods can be used in most all recipes. I enjoy shopping at the farmers markets so it makes for a delicious adventure when I take The Bubbly Bar book with me to see what is fresh and in season ...to match up with a cocktail recipe. Most of recipes are pretty straight forward... and the odd bits of cocktail jargon are easily explained for someone who is just the home fashionista bartender. The Bubbly Bar also explains how to choose the best Champagne, Prosecco and Sparkling Wines, which I enjoyed learning about and found that you don't have to break the bank to put a great Bubbly recipe together. My favorite part of this Bar "cookbook" is all the amazing flavor combinations. An added bonus, is that the recipes have a "Slow Food" vibe...taking advantage of using fresh seasonal ingredients. Nothing better then Farm to Bar and supporting local farmers! The photos are luscious and made everything look inviting to make. I will plan to try recipes through out the seasons, following what is available at the market. The recipes for the most part, are easy and quick to put together...great for having a party and just the perfect thing for a girl on the run!
