BUTTERFLY VEEKOKTEILID

Sellest kirevast kokteiliraamatust leiad 31 alkoholivaba kokteili retseptid, mis on inspireeritud kraaniveest. Igal selle raamatu kaunil kokteilil on oma saamislugu, kuid kokteilimeistrid kinnitavad, et inspiratsiooniks pole vaja midagi erilist: kokteili loomise mõte võib tekkida poes jalutades, süües, aias toimetades. Kokteile illustreerivad lisaks rõõmsavärvilistele piltidele ka Heinari luuletused, mille kohta ta ütleb lihtsalt: “Mulle meeldib sõnu ritta seada ja nii oma tundeid väljendada.”
