Let’s jump in!

Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest

I first had the opportunity to hear Fawn Weaver tell her story, the story of Uncle Nearest, and boldly proclaim the superiority of Tennessee whiskey to Kentucky bourbon six or seven years ago at Tales of the Cocktail. Her presentation, literally kneeling on a bar for nearly an hour so everyone in the room could see and hear her, blew me away. I’ve been a huge fan every since. If you ever get the chance to hear Weaver speak, don’t think about it, just do it. And make sure to pre-order this book today because this story is incredible.

From Amazon: “Embark on a captivating journey with Love & Whiskey. New York Times bestselling author Fawn Weaver unveils the hidden narrative behind one of America’s most iconic whiskey brands. This book is a vibrant exploration set in the present day, delving into the life and legacy of Nearest Green, the African American distilling genius who played a pivotal role in the creation of the whiskey that bears Jack Daniel’s name.”

A Quick Drink: The Speed Rack Guide to Winning Cocktails for Any Mood

I can’t imagine that Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix need introductions at this point in their careers. Both are icons of the industry, and both have dedicated themselves to not only the crafts of bartending and hospitality but also giving back. Not only will you find more than 100 cocktail recipes in A Quick Drink, a portion of the proceeds are going to breast cancer charities.

From Amazon: “Award-winning mixologists Ivy Mix and Lynnette Marrero co-founded Speed Rack, a global all-women bartending competition where competitors show off their talents making both classic and original drinks as quickly as their arms can shake and stir—all in the name of raising money for breast cancer charities… Shining a spotlight on the most influential women behind the bar today and their inventive drinks, this hot pink celebration of the incredible Speed Rack community is an unconventional, inspiring resource for home bartenders and professionals alike.”
