Mix Shake Stir: Recipes from Danny Meyer's Acclaimed New York City Restaurants - GIVE AWAY

The bartenders at Danny Meyer's wildly popular restaurants are known for their creative concoctions. Guests at Union Square Café or Gramercy Tavern expect not only the finest cuisine but also Meyer's special brand of hospitality that often begins with a Venetian Spritz or a Cranberry Daiquiri. In MIX SHAKE STIR, Meyer offers all the tips and tools needed to become a masterful mixologist and supplements the cocktail recipes with gourmet takes on bar snacks. There are over 100 recipes of bar classics, signature favorites, and original, refreshing libations--from the Modern's elegant mojito made with champagne and rose water to Tabla's Pomegranate Gimlet. Shaken or stirred, straight up or on the rocks, these cocktails make this collection an invaluable resource for elegant entertaining.



Hatchette is allowing me to give-away 3 copies of this wonderful hardcover!! Just in time for summer too!!

    Count me in! I'm always looking for a new mixed drink. I'm a big fan of rum & coke. I like spicing it up with cherries, or even raspberrys, or with flavored rum! I already follow!

    This sounds like my kind of book! I love exotic drinks. Those that are fruity. Something like a Fuzzy Navel. Or maybe something with a little Kalua in it. Right now I'd say my favorite is a Strawberry Daiquiri!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
