Find your inner mixologist
Now that you’ve got the booze, maybe you’re looking for ways to use it. Pick up a copy of Home Bar Basics (And Not-So-Basics) by Dave Stolte (Wexler of California, $14.99). With this “no bullshit” pocket-sized cocktail crash course, you’ll soon be proficient with a spoon and shaker. Available at BYOB (972 Queen West, 416-858-2932, byobto.com).
