Y’all, it’s been a minute. Since my last blog post, I’ve moved across state lines three times, met and married Stephen, started watching reality TV, written another book, gone to grad school, changed careers, received my first royalties check, finally put my whiskey course and had at least 10 medical scares with my pups.
Clearly I’m not gonna cover five years of ground with one post, so I’ll start with the new book. Spooky Cocktails, long may she reign, will be released on July 7, 2025. If you’d be interested in pre-ordering and are trying to get away from Amazon like I am, check it out on Bookshop.org!*
This new book features more than 100 cocktails brimming with horror and intrigue. Natch, there’s a pretty heavy horror movie presence. Since I had night terrors the last time I watched one, I spent a lot of writing time running out into the living room to ask Dr. Husband lots of questions.
It also wouldn’t have been possible without all of the crazy talented bartenders who contributed original recipes. To Frederic Yarm, Faith Sleeper, Kaley Shirley, Joe Witkowski, Christina Mae Henderson, Chris Mansury, Mark Schettler, Véronica Flores and (the James Beard semifinalists for Cocktail Service) Kate Gerwin and Colleen Hughes, y’all rule. I can’t wait for you to see the pins or the book.
