‘BEHIND THE BAR’ COCKTAIL BOOK

The COVID-19 pandemic has curbed both our travel and our time spent in bars — which means time spent in hotel bars is virtually nonexistent. Until the world is itself again, we can remember the elegance of such bars with the book “Behind the Bar,” from veteran beverage and travel writer Alia Akkam, which delves into 50 bars from around the globe with a cocktail recipe from each. $19.99, amazon.com
