I was sent a copy of The Hard Seltzer Cocktail Book: 55 Unofficial Recipes for White Claw® Slushies, Truly® Mixers, and More Spiked-Seltzer Drinks in exchange for this review:
I’ve been wanting to host parties in our home now that the remodeling is done. I just wasn’t sure which event to start with or what to serve.
That answer has been answered for me. I’m going to host a Girls Night Out. I will set up a Self-Serve Bar offering a variety of the Seltzers mentioned in The Hard Seltzer Cocktail Book: 55 Unofficial Recipes for White Claw® Slushies, Truly® Mixers, and More Spiked-Seltzer Drinks .
I will have small Goody Bags for the ladies with mini bottles of Liquor inside. with cute glasses, straws and decorations for the cups. Then the ladies can make there own drinks.
After the Girls Nite Out I will host a End of Summer Bash with what is left over for our neighbors to get together and meet each other serving Seltzers and adding Beer and Hard Drinks for the men on the List. Would you like to join us at our End of Summer Bash and I can show you the book.
At Christmas David would like to host a Open House. We will set up a drink stand and hire a Bartender that will make certain drinks from The Hard Seltzer Cocktail Book: 55 Unofficial Recipes for White Claw® Slushies, Truly® Mixers, and More Spiked-Seltzer Drinks including our own signature drinks using our own decorations.
By the time all of our Parties are over everyone we know will want to have there own copy of The Hard Seltzer Cocktail Book. Like David and I have they will want to place the book on there bar so when were not serving or having a Bartender our guest can make drinks for themselves and even do a impromptu Date Night.
The Author gives us tips saving us money like not spending more than $20 on a bottle of Wine and how to make our own Simple Syrup and to keep some on hand for when you want a drink. I love these tips which will save me money and always let me have drinks on hand for any occasion.
I love Sangria and always thought we needed Fresh Fruit for Garnishes but after reading this book we can use Frozen Fruit which is fine to do. In the past when I had mentioned using Frozen Fruit to David he wasn’t sure. David thought Frozen Fruit would Water our drinks down. Which we learned through the Author that isn’t the case.
The the Author explained the different glasses on the market showing us what to use for different Alcoholic Beverages. Then we would always know which glass we need at anytime giving me ideas for Christmas Gifts for David.

Author Casie Vogel, a self-declared lover of all things Carbonated, is sharing her expertise to help you make every season into a hard-Seltzer season. “At 4 to 6 percent Alcohol content, it’s an easy beverage to imbibe anytime of day.
But sometimes you have to take it up a notch…or several,” she said. “What’s the right ratio? What actually tastes like a Cocktail, doesn’t skimp, but also doesn’t immediately send you to blackout town? Well, my friend, that is where my help comes in.
The recipes are dangerously delicious and designed to get the party going, whether it’s a Friday night pregame or your next big party—or if it’s just been a tough day (girl, you do you).
