The newest addition to my cookbook collection is a cocktail book called ‘Shake’ by the boys at Mason Shaker.
You might have seen their creative crafting of a Mason jar into a large cocktail shaker. I love the size of the shaker because let’s face it…how often do you have just one amazing cocktail? The Mason shaker looks great and allows you to make drinks for you and your guests in one jar.
I have a fascination for glass jars and photography and Eric and Josh at W&P Design in Brooklyn, NY have done a great job with both. I’ve made two of the cocktails in the book, the Mid-Winter Margarita and the Bushwick Spice Trade (the latter featured in this post) and have thoroughly enjoyed both!
I’m happy to partner with W&P Design to offer a giveaway for the ‘Shake’ cocktail book and a Mason Shaker.
