If you’re looking for the perfect summer cocktail, Georgi Radev has you covered. The award-winning bartender’s new book, Let’s Get Tropical, boasts over 60 drink recipes for everything from Caribbean classics to modern tiki drinks. Many of the recipes feature a “lose the booze” option as well, making them a refreshing (and hangover-free) option for everyone.
We’re excited to welcome Radev to our studio in New York City, where he’ll be demonstrating how to make daiquiris. Check back here at 4:30 p.m. EST to watch the livestream below:
