ويليامز سونوما: كوكتيلات

The photography is stunning, and the recipes are surprisingly easy to follow—I made a basil-gin smash last weekend that was a hit at my dinner party. The drink breakdowns are clear without being preachy.

The seasonal ingredient angle actually changed how I shop for cocktails — I'm muddling berries and herbs I'd normally ignore. The recipes are grouped logically so I can flip to whatever's in season instead of hunting around.

The photography alone makes this worth keeping on the coffee table, but the recipes actually work—I made the grapefruit and rosemary drink twice in one weekend. Each cocktail is built around fresh, seasonal ingredients, so it's a nice excuse to hit the farmers market first.
