Synopsis

Neil Patrick Harris loves cocktails. So much that he created 'The Black Magic Margarita' which is currently served at La Cava Del Tequila in Epcot Center, featured cocktails weekly as a regular feature in his Wondercade newsletter (with over 200,000 subscribers), even created a bar in his home that was featured in Architectural Digest. David Burtka is sober. An esteemed chef and entertainer, David did not want to miss out on all of Neil's cocktail fun - he just doesn't want alcohol. Nor did he want to stop the party. The idea of a 'virgin' version of Neil's fabulous cocktails felt depressing to him, so David rose to the challenge to create the most exciting, refreshing, and festive concoction that he can enjoy while celebrating with others. After seven years of building up their bar and cocktail recipes together, Neil and David are ready to share what they've learned with the world in Both Sides of the Glass, the first guide that combines equally exciting and innovative cocktails and mocktails to suit any mood or event. Together, Neil and David have played with fresh ingredients from their garden, explored flavour profiles from across the globe, and tried almost all the non-alcoholic spirits that have popped up in the past few years to bring you 70 recipes (35 cocktails, 35 mocktails) for their very favourite concoctions. With carefully curated beverages organized thematically around to the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air), Both Sides of the Glass truly is the cocktail book for the next generation of drinkers and non-drinkers.
