Muggy afternoons spent poolside, picnics at the beach, parties under a starry sky; summer is all about relaxation and fun.

And when the mercury climbs, there’s no better way to unwind than with an ice-cold cocktail. With more than fifty recipes for stylish martinis and fizzy libations that celebrate summer’s laid-back attitude, The Backyard Bartender brings out your inner mixologist and turns your yard into summer’s coolest hangout. Frozen, on the rocks, or shaken, The Backyard Bartender offers an array of must-try concoctions that celebrate the season. Nicole Aloni includes creative recipes based on summer’s freshest ingredients, refined interpretations of classics like martinis and sidecars, plus nonalcoholic quaffs with plenty of zing.

Why not try a:
Spicy Ginger Blush Martini
Aromatic Lavender Lush
Dessert-inspired Key Lime Pie
Swimming Pool-blue The Deep End

From cocktail lingo to the tools of the trade, you’ll find everything you need to transform your backyard into a summer retreat.
