Mood Drinks : Alcohol-Free Cocktails to Create the Perfect Mood - Gabriel Cabrera

A stunning collection of 60 unique alcohol-free cocktails that taste as good as they look.

Mood Drinks is a seriously sexy collection of non-alcoholic cocktails, created and photographed by acclaimed lifestyle photographer Gabriel Cabrera. Gabriel has crafted 60 stylish recipes to help reflect, enhance or shift your mood. Each chapter groups recipes by shared flavor profile, carefully curated for that particular mood. The result is an array of delicious drinks made with intentional and accessible ingredients like fresh citrus, seasonal fruits, super-steeped teas, homemade bitters, and salty brines.

Whatever your mood, you can drink to . . .

CHILL: Relax with bitter, smoky and cozy drinks that will pull you into a mellow embrace, like the Sleepy Cherries, made with tart cherry, tangy orange peel and nutmeg, or the Sesame Blanket, made with black sesame, cinnamon and fennel seeds.

UPLIFT: Boost your energy with savory, spicy and fizzy drinks that jolt your mood with a nice bite of salt or spice. For a quick zing, try the Shiso Cuke Sour, made with cucumber, fresh shiso leaves and frosty cocktail foam, or a Guava Brava, made with guava nectar, plum vinegar and sumac.

CELEBRATE: Cheers with citrus, floral and fruit-forward drinks full of personality and sparkle like A Shot of Joy, made with jasmine tea, cantaloupe and ginger, or the Fountain of Beauty, made with elderflower and non-alcoholic bubbly.

EXPLORE: Experiment with funky, fermented and oddball drinks of edgy and curious mixes like the Umamilada, made with mushroom broth, tomato juice, pickle brine and non-alcoholic beer, or the Sage Away, made with cardamom and green tea, or the Gochu Soda, made with non-alcoholic aperitivo, gochujang paste and grapefruit soda.

Not only do these cocktails taste delightful, but they also look sensational. Each chapter artfully weaves together gorgeous photography inspired by fashion, design and vintage art with the beauty of the drinks themselves. And Gabriel will have you smiling before your drink is even ready with his anecdotes about hazy beach days, sunsets over Mexico City, the wild nights of his 20s and his on-point pop culture references.

Mood Drinks is a stunning combination of simple and unique alcohol-free cocktails with fashion-inspired visuals and light-hearted humor that come together to make a beautiful book worthy of both your coffee table and bar cart.
