And last, but not least, the Good sisters teach you how to throw a fabulous candy cocktail party.
Candy Cocktails features 50 delicious drink recipes that are made entirely from candy and spirits. Inspired by cocktails on the authors’ blog, Candy Cocktails also includes a spirits glossary, information on tools and glassware, candy rims and garnishes, and 100 full-color photographs throughout.
