Liqueurs—infusions that meld liquor with fruits, herbs, and spices—are once again an "it" beverage. In Luscious Liqueurs: 50 Recipes for Sublime and Spirited Infusions to Sip and Savor, mixologist A.J. Rathbun shows readers how easy and fun it is to make their favorite liqueurs at home.

An informative introduction demystifies the process of preparing homemade liqueurs and explains how to set up an efficient (and fun!) "liqueur laboratory." With just a few fresh ingredients and A.J.'s expert guidance, liqueur lovers will be whipping up batches of sweet, spicy, fruity, and exotic mixtures that cost less and taste better than any store-bought bottle.

Recipes include Righteous Raspberry, Limoncello, Cinnamon Snap, Heroic Hazelnut, Scotch Treat, Irish Cream, Anisetter, Mandarino, and 42 other tempting liqueurs photographed in stylish full color. They are perfect for sipping on their own or in cocktails, and make memorable gifts, too!
