Craft Cocktails by Monika Coghlan

Shake up your cocktail skills for summer

Craft Cocktails is a book by food and drink photographer (and cocktail enthusiast) Monika Coghlan which celebrates the range of incredible spirits being produced by Irish distilleries. Drawing on people’s new-found love of creating cocktails at home, and the rise in interest in Irish spirits, the book is beautifully photographed with more than 50 craft cocktail recipes from Ireland’s leading spirit makers. From ‘Dingle Elderflower Martinis’ featuring Dingle Gin to the ‘Emerald’ — a twist on the Manhattan made with West Cork Whiskey — it has all the tips you’ll need for the perfect night in. €24.95.
