I write about food and drinks, especially cocktails, wine, and beer. My first book, The One-Bottle Cocktail: More than 80 Recipes with Fresh Ingredients and a Single Spirit, focuses on easy cocktails you can make at home with a single bottle of booze. No bitters, no vermouth, just vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy, or whiskey, and ingredients you can find at your local grocery store.
