Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka Agree That Drink Duos ‘Should Be Siblings, Not Twins’ (Exclusive)

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka’s New Cocktail and Mocktail Recipes

Renowned actor Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka have taken their passion for mixing drinks to the next level with the release of their upcoming book “Both Sides of the Glass”. Scheduled to be available from September 30, the book showcases the couple’s expertise in crafting both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, drawing on their personal entertaining style.

Harris and Burtka, known for their stylish and creative approach to mixology, share their favourite drink recipes in the book, highlighting the importance of having a balanced combination of flavours in a drink duo. Harris believes that “a drink duo should be siblings, not twins,” emphasising the harmonious relationship between different types of beverages. On the other hand, Burtka suggests using similar base ingredients when creating unique mocktails to complement the cocktails.

Among the 70 unique recipes featured in the book, one standout is Harris’s classic Chocolate Martini, a rich and indulgent concoction that he describes as reminiscent of “drinking melted chocolate with a cool sleek bite to it.” For those with a sweet tooth, Harris recommends adding homemade cinnamon syrup to elevate the flavour profile of the cocktail, creating a delightful twist on a traditional favourite.

In contrast, Burtka, who has been sober for eight years, pairs Harris’s martini with his own creation – Frozen Hot Chocolate, inspired by a popular menu item at Serendipity 3 in New York City. Burtka’s Cold Hot Chocolate pays homage to the iconic dessert with a refreshing and alcohol-free twist, perfect for those seeking a lighter yet equally satisfying drink option.

The couple’s collaborative recipes in “Both Sides of the Glass” showcase their shared passion for mixology while offering a fresh take on classic cocktails and mocktails.
