About the Book

From the bestselling author of Everyday Entertaining, this essential guide for hosting happy hour at home features 100 recipes for stylish cocktails, clever mocktails, and tasty bites that transform everyday moments into something worth toasting.

Happy Hour at Home is the ultimate invitation to celebrate a much-loved social ritual with flair and fun. From a last-minute get-together for drinks and apps on the patio, a girl’s night made extra special, or a casual Friday cocktail gathering that evolves into a full-on snacking party—this cookbook unlocks the secrets to great hosting and joy-filled evenings with friends.

In these pages, you’ll find themed occasions that cover it all, from fancy drinks and bites inspired by your favorite hotel bar to crowd-pleasing party spreads for holiday time to Aperol-fueled spritzes for aperitivo hour. Each party features a collection of easy-to-prepare apps, snacks, sweet treats, and, of course, delicious drinks, with and without alcohol.

Choose from fresh and flavorful recipes—such as La Dolce Vita Margaritas, Ahi Tuna Mango Tostadas, Whipped Feta Dip with Spicy Citrus Olives, Green Chili and Spinach Artichoke Dip, Not-So-Dirty-Shirleys, Backyard Orange Gin and Tonics, Golden Girl Elixir, and Fancy Pigs in a Blanket—that are enticing and just right for sharing.

Whether bringing friends together to mark a seasonal celebration, enjoy a cozy night in, conjure a beach cabana vibe, or share an end-of-week toast, Happy Hour at Home is your go-to guide for creating joy, connection, and delicious memories—all without leaving your house
