First published 2022
Sammy Hagar opens his recipe vault to reveal the drinks that built his hospitality empire. The Red Rocker, known for Van Halen hits like "I Can't Drive 55" and "Right Now," takes readers behind the bar at his Cabo Wabo Cantinas and Sammy's Beach Bar & Grills. Hagar shares the bartending fundamentals that anchor his approach, then walks through 85 personal favorites including the Coconut Mojito, Maui Mama, Tiki Swizzle, and Santo Oaxaca. Each recipe reflects the cultures and locations that shaped his businesses, from tropical beach bars to Mexican cantinas. The book draws from Hagar's experience creating Cabo Wabo Tequila, Sammy's Beach Bar Rums, and his Santo Tequilas collaboration with Guy Fieri. This Gold Medal winner from the 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards captures Hagar's philosophy of bringing people together over great drinks and good times.
