Crafthouse by Fortessa Cocktail Shaker Set - the perfect complement to our book Regarding Cocktails, and available from Sonoma Williams

Gift the Book - and the Look! #3

Regarding Cocktails is a great book and an even better gift when paired with a Williams-Sonoma shaker set

Regarding Cocktails is the only book from the late Sasha Petraske, the legendary bartender who changed cocktail culture with his speakeasy-style bar Milk & Honey. In it you'll find 85 cocktail recipes from his repertoire - the beloved classics and modern variations - with stories from the bartenders he personally trained. Ingredients, measurements, and preparations in it are cleverly illustrated and will help you in your aim to make weapons grade cocktails for your friends and guests this party season. We would say it, but it really is the perfect Christmas gift.

However, as you know we don't just want you to gift our books but also the world our very smart editors bring to life within them. So might we suggest that if you're gifting Regarding Cocktails in the coming weeks that you pair your (already generous) gift with some choice accoutrements to ensure your giftee graduates magna cum laudae at the school of mixology. After all, those tossed shakers won't catch themselves, will they?
