About the Book:

Peterson's Happy Hour: Spirited Cocktails and Helpful Hints to Brighten Daily Life

When the daily grind begins to grate, lifting your spirits can be as simple as…lifting a glass of spirits!

Whether you need to cool off after a computer meltdown, dilute a deer-icidal impulse when Bambi’s relatives are eating your garden, or subdue the sticker shock of your grocery bill, the refreshing solutions and helpful tips in this book will keep your mood afloat.  Peterson’s Happy Hour prescribes the perfect liquid antidote for your household hindrances, workday worries, playtime problems, or vacation vexations.

In addition to more than fifty recipes, Peterson's Happy Hour is filled with vintage photographs and ephemera that evoke the sunny days of yore.  With simple instructions for making up-to-the-minute cocktail ingredients (infused liquors, syrups, purées), an equipment glossary, and a list of resources, this book gives you the know-how and inspiration to concoct your own happy hours—on even the most miserable days.  Because sometimes, when the day hands you lemons, a shot of homemade limoncello can do you a world of good.
