Review Quotes

"It isn't easy to find cocktail ideas for car camping, backpacking, and RVing, but this book is chock-full of delicious recipes that are easy to store and prepare. I was especially impressed by the backpacking cocktails--who knew you could have a post-hike drink made with mountain stream water? A must-have for any cocktail and camping lover." --Kristin Hanes, founder of the Wayward Home

"No matter your comfort level or definition of 'adventure' in the great outdoors, sitting around the campfire with a cocktail as you and your loved ones relive old memories or new ones from the trail is the highlight of any camping trip. Tucker is highly experienced in both libations and leisure in a natural setting--let him be your guide to the wonders of craft campground cocktails. While one might think that a refreshing mixed drink is only limited to your home or bar (or even an RV), Easy Camping Cocktails shows you how good times can be had no matter how you camp (car, tent, backpacking, etc.)." --Carl Kish, Tucker Ballister

"Tucker Ballister's Easy Camping Cocktails is an absolute delight from beginning to end. Whether you are a backpacker, a car camper, a cabin camper, or an RV owner, Tucker's book has great cocktails for you. These drinks are truly easy to make, and the best part of the book may be that Tucker divides the instructions for making them into two steps: "at home" and "at the campsite." As an experienced camper, Tucker understands that a little prep before the trip means more time for relaxing with friends around the campfire." --Jeremy Puglisi, author of Where Should We Camp Next? A 50 State Guide to Amazing Campgrounds and Other Unique Outdoor Accommodations, host of The RV Atlas podcast
