Embrace the winter spirit with these cozy cold-weather recipes.
Salut! I’m Kendall, the author behind Novel Nightcaps.
A creative by trade, I first found craft cocktail-making during the pandemic when my former partner and I started documenting tastings on the since-retired Instagram account Sips From Scripts. I was originally the photographer, but now I’m stepping behind the bar so I can carry on with one of my favorite pastimes—tasting my way through my impressively large cocktail book collection.
Here on this blog you’ll find hundreds of recipes I’ve already tried, along with their histories, tasting notes, and ratings. I have so many favorites, and it’s my hope that you’ll use my experience to find a few reshake-worthy drinks you can revisit year after year too!
Cheers,
