"Americans are finally catching on to what Italians have long known - that sipping low-alcohol cocktails, like aperitifs with soda, are the best way to imbibe on summer days. Kat Odell's Day Drinking is filled with low-lift formulas that enable a sustained, mellow buzz, from (late) morning to night." -Gear Patrol
