Monday cocktail news roundup

A quick roundup today of news and ephemera about cocktails (read: I’m feeling crushing guilt that I haven’t posted in a while, so here, happy?!)

Amazon says buyers of my book also dig Randy Newman. On plus side, these folks also buy a how-to sex book (mercifully unrelated to Randy Newman).

Finally, a solution to the age-old conundrum of how to shake four cocktail shakers simultaneously

NYT reviews Crop Harvest Earth’s just-released organic Farmer’s Gin (I just scored a bottle myself; drooling to try). I’ll be posting again – and for real - about this soon.

Shameless self promotion alert: Healing Lifestyles & Spas reviews my book, shares organic cocktail recipe from.

The New York Times heralds the return of the bar cart in one of its I-found-three-people-who-are-doing-it-so-it’s-a-trend features (wait, I use that gambit all the time!).
