Product Description
The sun caresses your skin as you gaze upon the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Soft white sand cushions your toes, and willowy palms dance in the warm breezes. As you lift your drink, you inhale the sweet aromas of coconut and lime juice. No matter where you are, no matter what the season, Calypso Coolers conjures up the magic of tropical seaside ecstasy.
Like its predecessor, Mambo Mixers, this colorful collection of 50 cocktails and 20 appetizers inspired by the Caribbean is an invitation to party paradise. All the classic island libations are here daiquiris, tropical punches, fruit martinis along with equally tantalizing concoctions like the Dominican Hurricane, made with rum, passion fruit nectar, and pineapple juice; the Dark and Stormy, a mixture of rum and ginger beer; and the Brown Cow, a silky combination of milk and coffee liqueur. The accompanying snacks from Juanita s Yuca Fritters to Puerto Rican Corn Sticks and Jamaican Jerk Chicken feature local flavors that are as varied and vibrant as the area s people and offer a lively complement to the cocktails.
Illustrated with eye-catching photographs and complete with pairing and serving suggestions, Calypso Coolers will give every occasion that first-day-of-vacation feeling.

Cudos for Calypso Coolers July 30, 2007
Patricia Ogg (LA)
I love this book. I especially love Arlen's intro to each recipe. She writes from the heart and you just feel her enthusiasm. It's contagious! You want to dive into the beautiful pictures and sip the drinks and nibble on the "tropical treats". Between Arlen's sumptuous descriptions and the luscious eye candy photos, you want to try every one of the recipes!!!

Calypso Coolers is the perfect book to get into the summer entertaining mode! With easy to follow recipes, mouth-watering photos, and stories of romantic tropical journeys, I could feel the warmth while planning the menu! I gave it to friends for Cinco de Mayo and they loved it. A perfect gift!

Both of Gargagliano's books have become staples of my party planning. I would be lost without them!

I had the pleasure of tasting Arlen Gargagliano's Mango Sangria at a recent Calypso Coolers book signing and couldn't resist buying the book. There was a 5 gallon jar of the stuff and it went so fast she had to keep refilling it! Arlen's cocktails not only look amazing, I can guarantee there won't be a dry glass at your next party. This caribbean inspired book is perfect for the summer - the drinks are delicious, easy to make and will give you lots of great ideas for both food and drink for BBQ's, pool parties and more. It's a great gift for anyone who's tired of plain beer and wine and wants to learn how to make a fabulous cocktail.

I received this delightful book as a gift. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, and the resulting drinks and appetizers are delicious and festive. Family members and friends rave about their favorites; they ask for recipes. Now I'm giving the book as a gift myself.
