Chef and restaurateur Nelson German, known for Oakland’s alaMar Dominican Kitchen and the cocktail lounge Sobre Masa, draws on his Dominican heritage and the broader traditions of the Afro-Latino diaspora in this collection of cocktails and small plates designed for gathering and celebration.
German approaches drinks as expressions of history, migration, and community, pairing classic Caribbean spirits with contemporary techniques and flavors. Recipes range from rum punches and mezcal-based cocktails to low-ABV and spirit-free drinks, with selections such as the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, Lake Breeze, and Cabana Rum Punch illustrating the book’s mix of tradition and invention.
Complementing the drinks are recipes for shareable snacks and small plates inspired by the cuisines of the Caribbean and its diaspora. Interwoven with personal stories and practical guidance for home entertaining, the book offers an accessible introduction to the flavors, ingredients, and convivial spirit that connect communities across the region and beyond.
