Poet and historian Angus Martin was born in Campbeltown in 1952 and
has lived there all his life. In this, his thirty-seventh book, he
has employed his intimate knowledge of the history and families of
his native community to produce the definitive account of the
distillers, distilleries and related trades and industries which
transformed a small West Highland fishing town into the
whisky-making capital of the world. Exhaustive research in
neglected sources has resulted a study with unprecedented detail
and insight.
An artisinal cocktail book by two best friends and the
entrepreneurs who invented the The Mason Shaker cocktail shaker and
whose mission is to bring cocktail crafting out of the bar and into
the home.
Design, cocktail, and culinary enthusiasts Eric Prum and Josh
Williams realized that while cocktail bars have sprouted up just
about everywhere, good drinks still couldn't be found in the one
place where they always mixed them: at home with friends.
So, from their Brooklyn workshop, where they designed, created, and
launched The Mason Shaker, a now-iconic invention that transformed
a Mason jar into a cocktail shaker, they also created "Shake." One
part instructional recipe book and one part photo journey through
their year of cocktail crafting, the book is a simple and
inspirational expression of their seasonal, straightforward
approach to drinks and entertaining: Mixing cocktails should be
simple, social, and above all, fun.
Each recipe is presented visually, in four color photos, as well as
in written recipes, making "Shake" both an arresting gift and a
practical guidebook to simple, elegant cocktails.
