The Cocktail Connoisseur

"Samuel Johnson famously said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” That’s how I feel about cocktails (with wine and beer not far behind). The accoutrement and experience should sparkle, as though you’ve scored an invite to one of Nick and Nora’s glam Thin Man cocktail parties. I typically play bartender on friend getaways, too, so I especially love products that make toting bottles a cinch, or mixing up an old-fashioned or a mojito easy without having to haul a bunch of ingredients."
