Over the past two years, my mom has gone from happily sipping her $15 bottle of wine to becoming my family’s resident bartender. Good gin, Chartreuse, and Maker’s Mark stock her pantry, and going over for a casual family dinner has turned into cocktail hour(s). So, for this Mother’s Day, I’m skipping the flowers and full-on encouraging my mom’s bartending skills with two gifts: a set of cocktail glasses (I’m loving this vintage etched set but will probably get her a more classic coupe set) and the How to Cocktail book. I was an intern at ATK when they were developing the recipes for this book and was dazzled by the team’s shimmering spritzes and majestic martinis, as well as their ode to a proper Pimm’s Cup. I’m keen to see what drinks my mom would choose to shake up from their book (Mom, if you’re reading this, the Bourbon-Cherry Slush looks real good, just sayin’). —Grace Kelly, Assistant Editor
