"The drinks visionary who helped usher in the era of craft
cocktails beyond his hometown of Washington, D.C., Derek Brown has
a new book out that reflects where he’s at as far as drinking is
concerned: It’s Mindful Mixology: A Comprehensive Guide to No- and
Low-Alcohol Cocktails, and it speaks to a decision to drink booze
in moderation or to cut it entirely — while still enjoying
drinks." —BROKENPALATE.COM
" Brown’s book is a wonderfully balanced mixture of a recipe book,
historical text and introductory barguide with suggestions for
tools, drinking glass styles and mixing methods. In the vein of
exploring the history of American cocktail culture, Mindful
Mixology builds upon Brown’s first published work, 'Spirits, Sugar,
Water, Bitters: How the Cocktail Conquered the
World.'" —DISTRICT FRAY MAGAZINE
"Derek Brown’s Mindful Mixology offers some fascinating history
behind NA drinks, as well as recipes and tips for making no- and
low-alcohol cocktails." —WIRECUTTER
