We know spring is here, but do your beverages?
If you're looking for some sun-spiration for your mixed drinks, look no further than inside Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails, the all-season cocktail book by Eric Prum & Josh Williams.
It won't take much page turning to find a concoction that will give your taste buds a reminder that it's time to go outside and enjoy the sun.
