I am an award-winning writer and author of a dozen books, including the critically acclaimed Drink Like a Woman (Seal Press 2016) as well as the upcoming The Joy of Cider (Skyhorse Publishing 2019) and The Wisconsin Cocktail Book (University of Wisconsin Press 2019). I’ve written about spirits, cocktails, wine, and travel for dozens of different publications, including Esquire.com, Wine Enthusiast, The Four Seasons Magazine, Tales of the Cocktail, and SuperCall. When I’m not testing a recipe, aging a rum cocktail in a barrel or throwing a tiki party, I can be found walking on the Milwaukee shores of Lake Michigan with my husband, our son, and our new rescue pup.
