Summer’s longer days and even warmer temperatures are officially here, and possibly one of the season’s greatest tonics is a refreshing beverage. Get all the thirst-quenching inspiration you need from this upcoming selection of cocktail and mocktail recipe books, perfect for everything from poolside lounging to backyard soirées.

If you’re a gin-lover, jump straight ahead to Andy Clarke’s “House of Gin,” which contains herbaceous and fresh cocktail recipes starring the beloved botanical spirit, and for nostalgia seekers, “Mod Cocktails” is the perfect source for updated tiki cocktails and twists on vintage drinks from the mid-century. And for the adventurous, learn to incorporate edible flowers into your drinks in Cassie Winslow’s “Floral Libations,” a beautiful book filled with drinks like an orange blossom moscow mule and dark chocolate rose mocha with a rose petal whip cream.
