The Cocktail Diaries

A personal collection of cocktail recipes from acclaimed actor Sam Heughan, of Outlander fame, which distills his travel adventures and knowledge of cocktail history and craft spirits into this stunning book.

The Cocktail Diaries includes chapters on:

Sam’s Top 10 all-time favourite cocktails
‘Simple and Timeless’ recipes for those easy crowd-pleasers
‘Complex and Conversational’ cocktails for something a bit more sophisticated

This is a tailormade tour of the world’s best cocktails for anyone who loves making drinks at home.

Sam’s expertise and enthusiasm shine through, as he regales tales of tasting cocktails – from the historic Boulevardier in Paris and a Bramble in New Orleans to a Papaya Margarita in the back of a van in the Oaxaca mountains – and delights in sharing his favourite adventures (and drinks!) with the reader.
