Camp Cocktails: Easy, Fun, and Delicious Drinks for the Great Outdoors - Hardcover

Learn how to plan, pack, and whip up great drinks in the great outdoors.

Cabin trips, hikes, patio parties, camping adventures--however you enjoy the great outdoors, it should be fun and easy. And so should the drinks! Simplicity, though, doesn't mean you're limited to a bottle and a mixer. With Camp Cocktails, you'll have lots of options for simple and tasty drinks that are ready to go wherever you go.

Following a primer on camp cocktail basics, including essential mixology techniques and advice for packing spirits and choosing camp-friendly barware, explore cocktail recipes for every outdoor occasion, from stargazing to boating.

• Cool off after a hot day spent hiking through the woods with a Flask Boulevardier or the Northwoods Sidecar.
• Break in the campsite with a Grilled Orange Cobbler or the ultimate beer-based cocktail.
• Greet the morning sun and luxuriate in the expanse of a day with no commitments with a BMB (Blueberry Maple Bourbon) or Spiked Arnold Palmer.
• Cozy up around the fire with the Salted Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, the Penicillin Toddy, a spiked hot apple cider, or your choice of bracing libation from a toasted marshmallow shot glass.

Every recipe comes with easy-to-follow instructions, and many feature expert bartender tips and hacks. And to round it all out, there's a whole chapter dedicated to foraging ingredients through the seasons to integrate nature into your favorite cocktails.

Pair these drinks with wilderness, whether that's somewhere along the Appalachian Trail, near a lake deep in the Boundary Waters, in a cottage along the coast of Maine, or just the wildness of your own heart.
