The daily cocktail: 365 intoxicating drinks and the outrageous events that inspired them

Have your own happy hour every day of the year with this delightful cocktail cookbook. From martinis, shots, and margaritas to classics like Manhattans, Alexanders, juleps, fizzes, old-fashioneds, and rickeys, you'll find intoxicating delights for every season. When it's too hot to take your drink outdoors, hole up in air-conditioned comfort and dream of your next cruise or seaside vacation with a Sex on the Beach, Bahama Mama, or Grand Hawaiian Screw. When the snow is flying, warm up by the fire with a Flaming Dr. Pepper, Hot Toddy, or Alabama Slammer. Each day has its own page, with detailed directions, variations on the cocktail du jour, suggestions for snacks to serve with it, colorful quotes about drinks and drinking, and more.

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklyn, New York, is One Girl Cookies: a charming bakery and café whose owners have created what they call an Urban Mayberry. Little do most people know that this dessert destination—famous for its gorgeous bite-sized cookies, amazingly moist cakes, seasonal pies and tarts, and dangerously addictive whoopie pies—started simply, with one girl baking cookies out of a tiny apartment. One Girl Cookies shares the recipes for the shop’s sought-after treats, as well as the sweet story behind its beginnings.

To open One Girl Cookies, Dawn Casale looked to her family for inspiration, digging into a treasure trove of heirloom recipes and photos that she uses in her unique packaging designs. She often names her cookies for people special to her: Lucia (Espresso Caramel Squares with White and Dark Chocolate Swirl) is in honor of Dawn’s beloved grandmother, and Lana (Bittersweet Chocolate Sandwiches Filled with Raspberry Preserves) was created for her favorite teacher, who was a little bit bitter but mostly sweet. Dawn’s family life and the shop are so inseparable that it is only fitting that when she hired David Crofton, a professional baker, to expand the business, it turned out that she had found the love of her life.
