Mistletoe Kiss
A riff on the classic Whiskey Sour, this deliciously zesty drink will make you pucker up—so go stand under the mistletoe!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2025Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThis was a fun gift for a family member!! She loved it!! It is a lovely book!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseOn page 67, so about halfway through, enjoying this book beside our bright Christmas tree and had to head to Amazon immediately to tell the author how excited I am to create her drinks! What a lovely, festive job with the book layout, photography, styling. Photos are The Christmas spirit! Love the little quip with each one. Best recipe book I own. Will adore this one. It was part of a Christmas gifts roundup online and so glad I bought for myself!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseCute cover and design but they basically just renamed regular drinks to make them sound Christmas-y. There are very few actually Christmas drinks and those are all just the regular ones you could find anywhere. Nothing new or unique here worth buying the book for.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2022Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseI love stacking books around my house (outside of the library) and I love switching out the books for the holidays. The ones at my bar area are usually just themed like the rest of my house, but for holidays, I love switching them out with themed drink books. This one is PERFECT. Not only does it look cute, but the recipes inside are super yummy too. It also makes a great gift! I combined this with a blanket and a couple cute drink glasses from Anthro and it was a hit!
