You know what you like to drink-but what's next? Expert mixologist and James Beard Award-winning editorial director of Milk Street J.M. Hirsch has the answer in Pour Me Another, where every recipe helps you choose your next drink. * Consider the rum Mojito. If that's your go-to, you might not consider yourself a bourbon drinker. But a whiskey Mint Julep delivers many of the same refreshing, minty notes. And from there it's a short jump to a vodka Mint Fizz, which livens things up with lemon and almond syrup. * Or maybe you're a bourbon Old Fashioned drinker. Pour Me Another guides you to a gin Bijou, which brings in Manhattan-like notes. Then try a Vieux Carre, with herbal notes atop peppery rye. Soon you're sipping a Mexican Vieux Carre, which uses tequila for a similar rich and spicy effect. * If a Gin & Tonic is more your speed, head toward tropical territory with a gingery Lime in de Coconut. Like that one? Go for a Coconut-Lime Daiquiri next. * Everyone loves a Margarita, but have you tried the Manhattan-inspired La Rosita? * Discover the versatility of vodka with a cousin to the Martini, in the botanical Stupid Cupid. No matter your taste or liquor of choice, Pour Me Another guides you to a new world of drinks you'll love. It's an essential handbook for cocktail lovers and home mixologists everywhere.

Are you done with generic gin and tonics, mediocre Manhattans and basic martinis? You can use pantry staples and basic liquors to produce more than 200 game-changing craft cocktails worthy of a seat at the bar. Many cocktail books call for hard-to-find ingredients and complicated techniques that can frustrate home cocktail makers. Shake Strain Done shows a better way: * If you can shake, strain, stir and turn on a blender, you can make great cocktails. * No tedious secondary recipes hidden between the lines. * No mysteries. You'll know what each drink will taste like before you pick up a bottle. * No fancy equipment needed. A shaker, strainer and spoon are as exotic as it gets. * The ingredients are mostly pantry and bar staples--things you already have on hand. Every drink is rated by its characteristics--Warm, Refreshing, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Fruity, Herbal, Creamy, Spicy, Strong and Smoky--to help expand your horizons and find more drinks to love. These are drinks with the sophistication of a high-end speakeasy, minus the fuss, like: * The Sazerac 2.0 - a spice cabinet update that takes the classic back to its origins * A new White Russian that lightens the load with coconut water instead of cream * A grownup Singapore Sling that's fruity without tasting like fruit punch * A Scorched Margarita that uses the broiler to char those lemons and limes * A feisty new Gin and Tonic in which black pepper is the star ingredient * And plenty of originals, like the Pooh Bear. Butter, honey and bourbon? Yes, please! And Mistakes Were Made, for tiki time
