Barantined is the ultimate guide to creating your own bar experience at home!
Shake, stir, and sip your way through quarantine with more than 80 easy-to-make cocktail recipes, techniques for making cordials, and the best drinking tips from mavericks of the mixology scene.

Compiled by Nashville writer and mixologist extraordinaire Mike Wolf, Barantined aims to catch a unique moment in time when the world spun out of control and came to a halt all at once. In March 2020, the restaurant and bar business shut down for months when a devastating tornado tore through Nashville and a pandemic rocked the world. Join bartenders from Nashville and beyond in Barantined as they share what they miss about being behind the bar and how their approach to their profession has changed, alongside their favorite DIY drinks and activities designed to bring the bar to you.
“The beauty of hospitality is subtlety - a quiet kind of knowing what is needed in any given moment and expediting it with grace and skill. Mike Wolf has not only written a book about that, but has extended out beyond a moment and given us the incredible gift of transformation in community through his dedication to the simple but revolutionary idea that hospitality, when done with great heart, can change the world.” -Lisa Donovan, pastry chef, James Beard award-winning writer
"This isn’t the usual bar book. Rather, Barantined is a time capsule of the bar and restaurant industry during the pandemic. It captures the voices of the hospitality industry -- their coping mechanisms, their frustrations, and most importantly, their voices and recipes. It’s a snapshot of survival." –Kara Newman, author, Nightcap and Cocktails with a Twist
"Barantined helped explain what I missed about a stylish bar while I was at home during quarantine…the music, the sense of camaraderie, the kernel of anticipation…and Barantined showed me that they missed me, too." –Margaret Littman, Nashville Scene, author of Moon Nashville to New Orleans Road Trip
