For the Media

I’m happy to do interviews and provide recipes with photos. Suggested topics include how to:

• Create cocktail recipes for entertaining and special occasions, such as holidays and weddings
• Add flair to drinks at home by infusing spirits and making syrups, bitters and garnishes
• Use seasonal, local ingredients in cocktails
• Create holiday recipes or homemade cocktail gifts
• Mix classic cocktails well
• Try restaurant and bar trends at home
• Pair cocktails and food
• Stock a home bar efficiently

For Brands, Bars & Independent Retailers

Ask about bulk-sale rates and partnerships. In addition to signing books, the authors can:

• Create glossy, four-color custom inserts for the book featuring original recipes inspired by the ingredient and/or theme of your choosing, including a photo and your logo
• Design a “signature cocktail” for you and speak at your event
• Teach a hands-on cocktail course
• Partner on events and promotional efforts
