Freezer Cocktails: 75 cocktails that are ready when you are

This ingenious collection of 75 cocktails made directly inside the bottle to store in the freezer means your drink is ready when you are.

There is a time and a place for meticulous home mixology. But more often than not, what we really want is a shortcut to our favourite cocktail that's at the ready whenever we want it. Pour. Sip. Simple!

Build your drinks in batches right in the spirit bottle, then keep them on call in the freezer for whenever the mood strikes. That means a perfectly chilled Negroni or a sweet and minty Mojito is always on hand, whether you're unwinding after a long day or hosting a few friends.

This creative collection of 75 ready-to-pour cocktails shows how to make freezer door versions of your favourites, from Margaritas and Manhattans to Cosmopolitans, Espresso Martinis and beyond.

These classic and new drinks include:
- Coconut-Lime Daiquiri Colada
- Mai Tai
- Chocolate Negroni
- Mexican Old Fashioned

Organised by spirit, Freezer Cocktails also covers the science behind the simplicity, including how the freezing point of alcohol changes based on volume of water, juice and/or sweetener added, as well as how to use this information to craft your own recipes.
