Shake

People have been mixing cocktails for generations — and while there are many tried-and-true staples, there's no reason not to shake things up a bit. It's with that spirit in mind that the makers of the Mason Shaker bring you Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails. Broken into several sections, the first covers an introduction to mixing cocktails, from key techniques, to selecting the right liquors, to choosing seasonal ingredients. The second section delves into actual cocktail recipes, broken up by each season and focusing on market-fresh herbs, mixers, and more. The final section covers the social aspect of mixing cocktails, detailing a range of ideas for gatherings that span the country.
