Today's video is all about my cocktail book recommendations! With so many options available, it helps to have a little guidance on which cocktail books to get. These are some of my personal favorites broken down into five categories. Whether you're starting out behind the bar, a seasoned pro, or just looking for gift ideas - here are some guides I suggest.

This also marks our first video in the new space! Thank you to all of you for watching these videos, supporting the channel, and helping us grow! I'm excited for what's to come and know this wouldn't be possible without you. Cheers!
