If you have been following me (which some of you have been for a while now!), you know cocktails have always been close and dear to me. The glassware, the way liquids interact with light, the ice, the colour — every detail of a cocktail has always made my heart skip a bit. On top of that, I love the experience of drinking and tasting the actual subject.

Well, now I get to enjoy all of that, but I also can share it with all of you.

Mood Drinks, published with Appetite by Penguin Random House Canada, is the culmination of years of photographing, styling, and consuming cocktails at home, in restaurants, and around the world. The book is influenced and guided by my Mexican heritage, my love for design, and never-ending curiosity to find ways to create new, meaningful experiences.

The book has 60 new non-alcoholic cocktail recipes, brand-new photography and styling, and never-before-seen images created for each chapter. All in all, there are over 100 pages of gorgeous deliciousness.

What about the mood? I designed this book to be all about building a mood around your drink, and not just making a recipe and calling it a day. The idea behind it: to create intentional moments. Whether is a solo drink at home after work, or a high-energy party with friends, the goal is for you to create a ritual that feels good, with drinks as the anchor.

The book is divided into four chapters: Chill, Uplift, Celebrate, and Explore. Each chapter offers ways for you to build a correlating mood. I offer tips guided by design on lighting, scent, objects, and other tools to help you get started.

I also introduce you to my new favourite concept: The Mood Nook. This is the equivalent of your bar cart, but instead of booze, you have all the things you need to create an intentional moment, the tools for your ritual. This could be something as simple as having a shelf in your pantry with your syrups, bitters, and elixirs, or an area on your kitchen counter with incense, infusions, and your notebook (to journal or take notes for the day).

Mood Drinks is here to help you make delicious alcohol-free cocktails in a beautiful way. Best of all, it can live on your shelf reserved for cool things or, in your living room as a coffee table book so you can show everyone how you’re so in the know ;)

SO, now for the most important part, how can you get your hands on it?!
