Author and Spirits Writer Kara Newman Holding “Nightcap” Book Signing at Shore Leave

Step up your holiday cocktail game and join cocktail and spirits author Kara Newman at Shore Leave on Sunday, December 9th for drinks and a book signing to celebrate her newly launched book, “Nightcap.” A nightcap is the perfect way to end the night, and author Kara Newman knows just how to make them.

This gifty, foil-accented book contains more than 40 cocktail recipes—some to keep the night going, some that will help ease you to sleep, some that can double as dessert, and some that can soothe the stomach after a hearty meal. In the book, there are classics like the sweet and creamy Brandy Alexander, new takes on old favorites like the Black Manhattan, which swaps an aperitif for the classic vermouth, and simple new ideas like the Open & Shut, which combines equal parts amaro and cognac for a slow sipper.

Kara collaborates with Shore Leave’s beverage director Ryan Lotz to create some specialty nightcaps just for the evening, such as:

Chocolate Negroni
Privateer Tiki Inspired Gin, sweet vermouth, Campari, creme de cacao and chocolate bitters

Passionfruit Cobbler
passionfruit, amontillado sherry

Flapjack Old Fashioned
aged rum, maple syrup, bitters
