Bonus episode: Christmas book gift guide special

We love Christmas as much as the next person but at this time of year comes the dreaded question of what to gift family and friends. That’s where this special podcast episode comes in. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Cider Mill Press to delve through their extensive catalogue of cocktail books and suggest Christmas gifts that are as useful as they are beautiful. Whether cocktail aficionado or cocktail newbie, someone looking to take their home cocktails to the next level, a Martini fan, a friend on a whisky journey, or simply someone you know who’s looking to make Christmas and New Year celebrations a little more interesting than simply opening a bottle of something sparkling, we have suggestions for these and more in our pick from the incredible range of books available from Cider Mill Press.Along with giving reasons for our selection we also mix up a couple of cocktails (Pink Gin and Boulevardier) taken from the recipes in two of our book choices.We hope you enjoy listening and get some Christmas gift inspiration. And while you’re about it why not choose something for yourself?Our selection from the Cider Mill Press range: Sip and Sensibility: An Inspired Literary Cocktail Collection, by Tim RaybornThe Martini Field Guide: Martini Culture for the Cocktail Renaissance, by Shane CarleyThe Encyclopedia of Cocktails: Over 1,000 Cocktails for Every Occasion, by The Coastal KitchenThe Infused Cocktail Handbook: The Essential Guide to Creating Your Own Signature Spirits, Blends, and Infusions, by Kurt MaitlandThe Home Mixologist: Shake Up Your Cocktail Game with 150 Recipes, edited by Shane CarleyHow to Drink Whiskey: From Grains to Glasses, Everything You Need to Know, by Carlo DeVitoBubbly: A Collection of Champagne and Sparkling Cocktails, by Colleen JeffersCocktails: The New Classics, by Cider Mill Press To find out more about the Cider Mill Press range visit cidermillpress.com Hosted on Acast.
