Let's Bring Back: The Cocktail Edition - Giveaway - CLOSED

We are thrilled to share with you one of our favorite cocktail books, written by our dear friend, Lesley M.M. Blume.  Part of the Let's Bring Back series, The Cocktail Edition is a wonderful book that is both entertaining and useful behind the bar.  Filled with amusing recipes that have gone lost over the years, Ms. Blume brings them back triumphantly, with hilarious anecdotes, whimsical illustrations, and crafty applications for modern life.
