All the showmanship of proper cocktail mixology brought to a no-alcohol drinks book, The Dry Bar includes high-end counterparts to well-loved favourites, from the Passionfruit 'mojito' to the Espresso 'martini'.

There are none of the overly sweet juice-oriented mocktails here: these are drinks for a sophisticated palate and show-off entertaining ? finely curated and expertly crafted. This is the a go-to book for anyone wanting to enjoy the feeling of having a 'proper' drink without any of the downsides of alcohol.

For those who like serious cocktails and fine dining but are cutting back on alcohol, are sober curious, or on dry January, the recipes deliver the flavour profiles of traditional spirits.
