You'll also find sidebars offering detailed info about local distilleries, celebrity barmen, cultural idiosyncrasies of bar life, famous hotels, and much more.

The book also reveals the marvel that is the author herself: a tireless hostess, a cultural ambassador, and an adventurer ever-thrilled to share her treasured finds."-Bill Addison, national critic for Eater
"Annette has always known that the strip of land from the borders of France to those of Tuscany was a special place, with its coastline an endless, stunning beauty. From the Riviera di Ponente to the Cinque Terre, from San Remo and Alassio, down to Albenga, Savona, Genoa, Camogli, Portofino, Rapallo, and beyond. Liguria is a land that is hospitable with the perfect climate to enjoy cocktails by the sea. Annette's book reflects this perfectly." -Mauro Lotti, Iconic Italian Barman
