The team behind Brooklyn's popular dessert and cocktail bar brings you Butter & Scotch­—a "Dominique Ansel meets Broad City" boozy look at dessert.

At Brooklyn's Butter & Scotch, everything is made by hand, and seasonal, inventive flavours are created to satisfy any sweet tooth—especially those with a penchant for spirits. In their namesake cookbook, Allison Kave and Keavy Landreth dish up more than 75 recipes for incredible desserts, cocktails, and creations that shake up the traditional approach to booze and sweets. From buttery, cinnamon-y Magic Buns for breakfast to gourmet Hot Toddies at evening's end, Butter & Scotch provides recipes for any time of day.

The book is packed with popular recipes: world-renowned S'mores Bars, Dark & Stormy Cocktail Caramel Corn, Pie Milkshakes, Maple Bacon Cupcakes, and yes, even Jell-O shots.

In addition to recipes, Kave and Landreth share the basics behind their recipes—the techniques, ingredients, and essential equipment needed to make the desserts and cocktails. They also suggest pairings, offer base recipes for creative experimentation, and tell you exactly how to cook with alcohol.

This cookbook combines two things people love to indulge in—confections and cocktails. Butter & Scotch is a grown-up's dream come true.

Also available from Allison Kave: First Prize Pies.
