FOR THE HOME BARTENDER WITH SKILLS

Do you have a relative who mixes up a mean pre-dinner Martini? Or maybe you have a friend who’s always dishing on the best speakeasy. Here are several bottles they’d be happy to unwrap. For someone who always orders off the cocktail menu but is just getting into making them at home, pick up a small, medium or large bottle of a pre-mixed Old Fashioned cocktail. For the novice’s home bar, St-Germain’s must-have elderflower liqueur lends a delicately floral and sweet taste to cocktails. Lastly, the devoted cocktailian would never balk at receiving a tasty amaro.
