Prosecco Made Me Do It - by Amy Zavatto (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"From fizzes to bellinis, and with old favorites and new riffs, the book elucidates the potential of prosecco as a party in a glass." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Prosecco is no longer just a sparkling wine; it's a cultural phenomenon--a party in a glass. From food, wine, and spirits maven Amy Zavatto comes this beautifully illustrated introduction to a whole world of bubbly beverages.

Prosecco Made Me Do It contains sixty delicious drink recipes paired with bright, fun, original artwork. Also included: a brief history of prosecco, purchasing and serving tips, and a guide to cordials, syrups, and liqueurs. From the classic bellini and fresh fruit mimosa to a wide range of sparkling cocktails, the recipes in Prosecco Made Me Do It are light, fizzy, and fun.

"No one can doubt the wonder of a Bellini or Aperol Spritz but Amy has drinks that travel down other pathways. Deep travel. Deep flavor." --Cooking by the Book

"This little charmer would make the most adorable gift, perhaps attached to a bottle of its namesake . . . It's loaded with facts and illustrations, as well as fun recipes like Sunshine Superman, made with Jamaican rum, ice wine, prosecco and an orange peel." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
