Today’s diners and drinkers are seeing a bold new integration of culinary art and cocktail culture. Market-Fresh Mixology shows how fabulous additions from the farmer’s market, garden, or pantry can elevate classic cocktails to the next level. It introduces an entirely new dimension to the ideal of seasonal cocktails, with a clean, contemporary approach that uses fine spirits and fresh ingredients to create cocktails for every occasion. Hot day? Blustery night? Snowbound? No matter what the weather, season, or event, Market-Fresh Mixology offers a recipe, from the refreshing summer mojito to the cozy hot buttered rum, that’s as easy to follow as it is delicious. With its gorgeous full color photos, the book is a treat for the eyes, but it’s also eminently practical, with tips on cocktail mixing techniques, garnishes, enhancements, glassware, and bar tools, as well as amusing lore surrounding classic cocktails.

Summary: Good for Vodka drinkers
Comment: As a cocktail lover, I found this book a bit disappointing. The drinks are pretty, and the recipes do call for fresh ingredients. I have no doubt that they are tasty and would be big hits at upscale restaurants and bars. However, as someone who appreciates a wide variety of liquors and liqueurs as cocktail ingredients, it is disappointing that nearly all these drinks call for flavored vodka and juice. I was hoping for a little more variety, and a little less garnish.

Summary: Has a drink suitable for every season
Comment: The cocktail has long been the symbol of cultured elegance. Now Bridget Albert (a Master Mixologist at Southern Wine and Spirts, and the director of the Academy of Spirits and fine Services in Illinois) with the assistance of Mary Barranco (whose own career spans twenty years in the adult beverage industry) presents "Market-Fresh Mixology: Cocktails For Every Season", a veritable compendium of recipes and instructions for making memorable cocktails for every dining, partying, and celebratory occasion. Featuring both traditional cocktail recipes and contemporary innovative versions of this popular drink, "Market-Fresh Mixology" has a drink suitable for every season. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this compendium of recipes are organized into cocktails appropriate for Spring, Summer Autumn, and Winter. Of special note are the chapters on 'Home Bar Essentials' and 'Infusions'. An ideal and thoroughly 'user friendly' guide, "Market-Fresh Mixology" is enthusiastically recommended for both personal and community reference collections.

Summary: The Seminal Work on Fresh Mixology
Comment: "Market-Fresh Mixology" is a creative tour de force, a collection of seasonal cocktails so stunning in appearance and brilliant in character that they could only have been devised by Bridget Albert. The inimitable Ms. Albert is one of the country's most celebrated and esteemed mixologists, and this guide on how to create drinks that sizzle and pop with vitality proves the depth of her talent.
I've spent more than 25 years working one side of the bar or the other, so I think I know my way around a mixed drink. After preparing a few of the cocktails in Bridget's book at our offices, I can now say without reservation that they all looked, smelled, and tasted like a perfect slice of heaven.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes life is too short to suffer lackluster cocktails.

Summary: Market-Fresh Delicious
Comment: I brought a copy of Market Fresh Mixology: Cocktails for Every Season along on a recent family vacation to our lake house. The Summer cocktails were a hit with our crowd. Everyone especially enjoyed the Watermelon Margarita. Simple, fresh, delicious. The recipes are well-organized, easy to follow and great to drink. Even though I am not an expert like the book's authors the recipes did not intimidate me. This book is going to become a staple in my house. I believe every party should have a signature cocktail-I am now armed with one or more for each season. Beautiful gift book. I look forward to Bridget Albert's and Mary Barranco's next collaboration.

Comment: Market-Fresh Mixology: Cocktails for Every Season
AMAZING!! This is not your typical cocktail recipe guide but rather a map for an inspiring journey that takes you where simple, pure, fresh and flavorful take on a whole new meaning. Having only tried the Summer Season thus far,Bridget Albert and Mary Barranco definitely show you how to add sunshine to cloudy days and savor the tastes that can literally transport you to a tropical paradise (Blueberry Lavendar Mojito) or a front porch swing of a rustic farmhouse(Gooseberry Lemonade). The "Home Bar Essentials" chapter sets the stage for success for even the most novice host and the easy tool kits found with each recipe are invaluable! As much as I am enjoying summer, Autumn's recipe for Cozy Pomegranate Cider and a log on the fire sounds like a great combination! I can hardly wait to have a Harvest Party!
