LOW PROOF HAPPY HOUR
Lift your glass to good health. This time, you don’t have to stop at just one!
Keep the cocktail hour going, drinking delicious cocktails that don’t pack a punch. Everyone knows that drinking less booze is better for you, in so many ways.

Enter Jules Aron’s Low-Proof Happy Hour. Aron’s delicious, lower-ABV drinks still pack a punch but you’ll stay on your feet easily. From reimagined favorites like the martini and the Old-Fashioned, to fresh inventions like the Pimm’s
Pop and Matcha Colada, these recipes balance high-proof alcohols with lower-proof components. Complete with vibrant photography and contributions from well-known mixologists, this book will revolutionize your bar cart.
