For the mostly fine spirits-sippers like myself out there, who rarely, if ever, indulge in the occasional shot or shooter, The Little Black Book of Shots and Shooters is a great intro into that usually boisterous and admittedly fun part of socializing and making-merry at a bar, party or function. The book first explains the difference between a shot and a shooter, and unlike what I'd originally thought, they're not one and the same. A shot is a small glass of a single spirit, while a shooter is mix of spirit, or spirit, and whatever other ingredients you can think of. Some sense of creativity and ingenuity are required for putting together shooters and this book lists a great selection of recipes and tips and tools you'll need. I was delighted to see that the recipe for "Scooby Snack," a shooter/cocktail that I've tried before and which have elicited many a "what's that?" when I've requested it at bars, is included in the book. The recipes list the various ingredients in parts, vs. exact measurements, making it easy to create the shooters in any size portions. They're easy and simple to follow. This is a book that I'll regularly consult with, whether I'm hosting a cocktail party or am just an attendee and looking for an interesting shooter or combo to try.
I'm always looking for great new ways to enjoy my favorite beverages, and this book provides a multitude of choices! Especially for throwing that perfect soiree! Peter Pauper Press in general is always a favorite at Whom You Know, and the colorful and straightforward presentation is perfect. Also, this book makes a wonderful gift, ideally when you are visiting your favorite host or hostess! In particular, the Purple Hooter and the Cliffhanger were among my favorites, but there are so many choices from you to pick from. This will even inspire you to create some of your own!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
