WIN! – Good Things to Drink with Mr Lyan & Friends

Just as a good home-cooked meal can bring friends together, good things to drink can turn great occasions into incredible ones. Cocktails add sparkle to gatherings and make ordinary catch-ups extraordinary. But they’re not just for fancy nights out and snobby mixologists – and they needn’t be time-consuming or complex. In this book, Ryan Chetiyawardana (aka Mr Lyan, the man behind award-winning London bars White Lyan and Dandelyan) brings cocktails into your home, taking the fuss out of creating impressive drinks for any get-together, from lazy brunches to summer parties.

If you’ve got a big group to keep entertained, there are batch cocktails that are easy to scale up into bottles, bowls and pitchers. If you’re on a chilly winter ramble, opening a flask of something rich and hot will make you even more popular with your companions. Among 60 easy-to-make and innovative recipes, Mr Lyan shows you how cocktails can become part of your everyday life. He perfects classics such as the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan, and experiments with new intriguing combinations and ingredients. And he demonstrates how making cocktails at home is the natural next step in our foodie revolution.

MR LYAN (aka Ryan Chetiyawardana) is the man behind White Lyan and Dandelyan bars in London. He’s celebrated around the world for his inventive cocktail menus and magic way with a shaker.
