Apéritif: Cocktail Hour the French Way

JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST â€¢ NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FOOD NETWORK

Grab a light drink and a bite, and enjoy cocktail hour, the French way

For the French, the fleeting interlude between a long workday and the evening meal to come is not meant to be hectic or crazed. Instead, that time is a much needed chance to pause, take a breath, and reset with light drinks and snacks. Whether it's a quick affair before dashing out the door to your favorite Parisian bistro or a lead-up to a more lavish party,Â ApÃ©ritifÂ is about kicking off the night, rousing the appetite, and doing so with the carefree spirit of connection and conviviality.Â ApÃ©ritifÂ celebrates that easygoing lifestyle with simple yet stylish recipes for both classic and modern French apÃ©ritif-style cocktails, along with French-inspired bites and hors d'oeuvres.Â

Keeping true to the apÃ©ritif tradition, you'll find cocktail recipes that use lighter, low-alcohol spirits, fortified wines, and bitter liqueurs. The impressive drinks have influences from both Old World and New, but are always low fuss and served barely embellished--an easy feat to pull off for the relaxed host at home.Â

ApÃ©ritifÂ also offers recipes for equally breezy bites, such as Radishes with Poppy Butter, GougÃ¨res, Ratatouille Dip, and Buckwheat-Sel Gris Crackers. For evenings that are all about ease and approachability without sacrificing style or flavor,Â ApÃ©ritifÂ makes drinking and entertaining at home as effortless, fun, and effervescent as the offerings themselves
