“Packed with recipes we’ll want to mix all summer long.” —Liquor.com

“This fun and easygoing cocktail book serves up an intriguing mixture of unique and classic low-alcohol cocktails for anyone to enjoy at any time of day.” —Booklist

“Americans are finally catching on to what Italians have long known — that sipping low-alcohol cocktails, like aperitifs with soda, are the best way to imbibe on summer days. Kat Odell’s Day Drinking is filled with low-lift formulas that enable a sustained, mellow buzz, from (late) morning to night.” Gear Patrol

“An extremely fun look at cocktails low in alcohol which tend to be ideal for brunch, lunch, and all weekend long.” —Eater

“With a laid-back vibe, this is a solid collection for party hosts seeking some unusual and trendy cocktails.” —Library Journal

“This finely honed collection of fabulously light and lively libations reminds you of the spirituous delights to be had while the sun is still at its apex. Collected from some of the best bartenders in America, these are recipes you can trust will both quench and inspire, because simply no one drinks more during the day than a bartender on their day off. Just the thing for a sunny day, or for those looking to chase the clouds away.” —Martin Cate, owner of Smuggler's Cove and author of Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum and the Cult of Tiki
