The Cocktail Diaries

Sam Heughan’ s acting career has led him on a unique journey around the world and his love of craft spirits, history, and travel is distilled into this personal collection of cocktail recipes.

The Cocktail Diaries includes chapters on Sam’ s Top 10 all-time favorites, " Simple and Timeless" recipes for those easy crowd-pleasers, " Complex and Conversational" for something a bit more sophisticated, and a final section, " Made by Friends" , featuring imaginative recipes created by international bartenders for Sam and his brand Sassenach Spirits— a tailormade tour of the world’ s best cocktails.

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 favorite adventures (and drinks!) with the reader.
