“Extremely Happy Holidays: Wildly Creative New Cocktails to Uplift and Enchant through a Full Year of Holiday Chaos” is a new mixology book that features recipes for spirited drinks and mocktails - all themed around specific festive celebrations – and not just the ones inundating our lives this time of year – but also St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and Talk like a Pirate Day.  Written by Devin McEwan, a home bartender and debut author, the book is illustrated by his mother, bestselling children’s book author Sandra Boynton.

In November, Oblong Books and The White Hart hosted us in Salisbury, Connecticut.
