I've been meaning to post about dessert wines and other liqueurs and alcohols used to flavor or flambe desserts, so when Hachette Book Group contacted me about this latest giveaway I figured it would be the perfect segway into that world. There will be three winners for the soon-to-be-released Mix, Shake, Stir, recipes from Danny Meyer's acclaimed New York City restaurants.Here's what the publisher is saying about the book: 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.

this looks great becuase it includes some of the newer more pop items like pom juice but also not just the boring older drinks but instead fun party and summer drinks.
ReplyDeleteWe have a pool bar set up and these recipes would be awesome to make when we have pool parties! thanks for the giveaway

I'd like to win this book because while I'm quite comfortable cooking for people, I have zero skills in the cocktail department. Thanks for the chance! asthenight at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway, Joy!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have this book because I do entertain a lot--and that's easy with food, but I'm often at a loss for what to serve in the way of spirits and cocktails. Most of the time I end up putting out bottles of liquour and letting people do their own thing--so lame!
This book would enable me to throw an elegant cocktail party with a nice signature cocktail or two; that's some worthwhile street cred!
ReplyDeleteThis book would also help me learn more about different spirits and what goes nicely with them in order to (a) find yummy cocktails that work with my diabetic lifestyle and (b) share the same with friends & blog readers in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteThis would help me with my summer entertaining!
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I need this book!
