The Power of Positive Drinking

The Power of Positive Drinking

Summary


The Power of Positive Drinking isn’t a guide on how to get drunk. It is a guide to how to drink well.

Drinking has a bad reputation in some quarters. But that’s largely because we don’t drink properly, as we have not yet been initiated in the art of drinking well. Most of us know plenty about healthy eating, but next to nothing about healthy drinking.

This is Cleo Rocos’ master class on how to imbibe successfully, on how to reach that delicious level of intoxication where you and your fellow drinkers blossom into the favourite version of yourselves and stay there. From Rocos we learn how to ensure that every drinking occasion snowballs into a glorious and triumphant event.

Inside these pages lie the secrets of alcohol. The finest hints and tips on stylish drinking gleaned from seasoned and successful drinkers around the globe; failsafe recipes for some of the world’s greatest snifters - martini recipes, margarita recipes, mojitos and cosmopolitans - along with a few of Cleo’s own specialities, guaranteed to avoid that awful hangover.

Enjoy this book responsibly.

About the author

Cleo Rocos

Cleo Rocos lives in London with her parrot, Max. She has enjoyed a glass or two and had a headstand contest with Jack Nicholson, gone brothel busting with Alan Carr, smuggled Princess Diana into drag bars and high-kicked to show tunes with Gore Vidal. ‘It’s all been glorious fun, but none of these gleeful events would have taken place if we hadn’t got a drop of the proper stuff inside us.'
