Behind every great cocktail is a story and a pair of experienced, trusted hands. The twist of a lemon rind, the shake of a glass, the twirl of a spoon and the delicate splashing of bitters all come together to create a marvelous concoction. We’ve asked some of our favorite male food, drink and lifestyle bloggers to share their favorite libations. From Italy to both coasts of the U.S. to Canada, our boys have every cocktail covered. Join us around the table as we share delicious drinks, scrumptious recipes, stories of all sorts and some great cocktail tips. This is The Boys Club and you’re invited.
