Michael Schlow - A Toast to the Holidays

You’ve made it through the holiday season. It’s time to relax and unwind with family and friends. And a drink. You’ve earned it. Chef and restaurateur Michael Schlow suggests turning to The PDT Cocktail Book: The Complete Bartender's Guide from the Celebrated Speakeasy. Written by Jim Meehan, award-winning barman and owner of NYC’s PDT, this stylish little tome features more than 300 drink recipes – updated versions of old school classics as well as more than a few creative contemporary cocktails. Schlow, the man behind Radius, Via Matta, Alta Strada and Tico, may have a particular interest in the extensive list of tequila-based beverages, but you can wrap this volume up for the aspiring mixologist on your list and maybe you’ll find yourself with a new favorite holiday drink. With Meehan’s guidance, it’s guaranteed to be a good one.
