Monday Booze News Is that gin in my latte, a crazy Peru bar, and an actual cocktail book library

December 3, 2018 by elana Leave a Comment

Monday Booze News: holiday wine-down time // stirandstrain.com

  • First, our Holiday Gift Guides have started and we’ve got some boozy books picked out for your gift giving needs.
  • If you have to ask if it’s a Negroni, it’s probably not a Negroni. It’s a donut.
  • And speaking of things that are like cocktails, but aren’t… Starbucks! Are you sneaking gin in my lattes?!
  • Someone brought warm champagne to your holiday party?! The nerve! Ina Garten will show you how to chill that bottle real fast.
  • NYC has a cocktail book library! But your library card won’t work there.
  • Hey DIY’ers! Craft an ugly Christmas sweater that is also functional this year (i.e. one that will hold a bottle of wine for you)!
  • Now you can go to Tales of the Cocktail anytime! And not just in the disgusting heat and humidity of New Orleans in July...
  • Also, another reason to go to Peru besides llamas! Cocktails! With some crazy fire-breathing contraptions that they use to serve you drinks!
  • It’s a sad time for Death’s Door Spirits...
  • And finally, if your holiday bonus this year ends in multiple zeros, you might want to check out this pre-prohibition whiskey auction happening at Christie’s Auction house on December 7th. Keep us in mind for your generous holiday gifting!!!
