3 Delicious Cocktails To Shake Up The Season
Updated on January 8, 2024

In her debut book, A Bartender’s Guide to the World — and after 20 years tending bar around the globe — Canadian Lauren Mote shares her secrets to making perfect cocktails. Don’t miss the Apple-ation, a twist on the old-fashioned that will teleport you to County Cork, Ireland. You’ll also want to try Sour Roses, a vodka sour with Hawaiian vibes, or Yonge Street, a Toronto take on the margarita. The book offers plenty of nonalcoholic options, too.
