Sip and savor the bold flavors and vibrant culture of the Afro-Latino diaspora with over 40 drink recipes and 20 food recipes from Top Chef alum and acclaimed chef-restauranteur Nelson German, the culinary visionary behind Meski, Sobre Mesa, and alaMar Kitchen and Bar.

For Afro-Dominican chef Nelson German, drinks and food are about connection—whether it’s sharing stories over cocktails on a stoop in Washington Heights or gathering with friends under the warm, buzzy lights of his restaurants. In Caribbean Cocktails, he brings the rich culinary history of the Afro-Latino diaspora straight to your home bar and kitchen, blending tradition, personal storytelling, and modern mixology. Inside, you’ll find cocktail recipes easy enough for home bartenders yet inventive enough for seasoned mixologists, along with an ingredient index to help you make the most of every bottle on your bar cart, tips for batching drinks, plus low-ABV and alcohol-free variations for every kind of celebration.

Reflecting the vibrant drinking and food culture of the Afro-Latino diaspora, Caribbean Cocktails presents a rich selection of recipes from celebrated bartenders and chefs, spanning refreshing spritzes and bold island classics to tasty small plates. Each chapter highlights a distinct flavor profile, including concoctions for:
