Margaritaville: It's Five o'Clock Somewhere: 65 Cocktails to Make Every Hour Happy Hour

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere is Margaritaville’s first official cocktail book that celebrates laid-back island living with easy, tropical drink recipes inspired by the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle

From the introduction—Ever since Jimmy Buffett started singing about a place called Margaritaville, people have been trying to find it. In Margaritaville, you could sip away in the satisfaction of a life well lived, both the bitter and the sweet. You could waste away joyfully. You could find what you were looking for. And even if that lost shaker of salt never turned up, well, at least you had your toes in the sand and a cold drink in your hand.

Thing is, there weren’t any coordinates for Margaritaville. You couldn’t find it on any map. It was a state of mind, a place you could be no matter where you were. Then Jimmy got to thinking. Maybe Margaritaville could have an address. Maybe you could check in. So he got together with some folks to bring his slightly blurry vision to life. And did they ever succeed. What started as a single spot in Key West, one of Jimmy’s favorite venues for mischief, has become dozens of Margaritavilles, all linked not by location but by their dedication to the lost art of taking it easy.

While nowadays you can find Margaritaville on a map, you don’t have to travel to get there. Because Margaritaville is an attitude that requires no change in latitude. And the only passport you need to reach it is a frosty glass of something stiff.

Tell you the truth, ice and whatever’s handy will do the trick. But we take great pleasure in putting in a little extra time to make a much better cocktail. That’s what this book is all about. First, there’s a rundown on the tools and tips you’ll need to up your game, then a collection of our favorite tipples, both classics and riffs, for all occasions—whether you’re in the shade or catching some rays or gathered around a nighttime fire within earshot of the waves.

Fins up, bottoms up! Find your happy hour with recipes like:

• Tiki Time Margarita • Frozen Painkiller • Hibiscus Gin Fizz • Jalapeño Business • Spicy Mango Rita
