This Gin Wheel is Not Your Grandmother’s Lazy Susan

By

Talk about reinventing the wheel. Bombay Sapphire EAST and design firm AvroKO took the classic Lazy Susan and spun it into something magical. This limited edition Gin Wheel is pretty much the perfect gift for any classic cocktailer in your life, especially if the gin & tonic is his or her poison of choice.

In its first time ever brand collaboration, AvroKO – whose clients include restaurants like Saxon & Parole, LAVO and Beauty & Essex – teamed with Bombay Sapphire to create this original design, modeled after the time-honored tradition of home entertaining and social gatherings throughout the world. The handcrafted walnut Gin Wheel spins on a brushed stainless steel base to reveal sleek hidden alcoves, perfect for stashing the tools and ingredients to make your favorite cocktails at home. Keeping your home bar organized has never looked this good with ample room for garnish, ice, bar tools, cutting boards, coasters, glasses and a special pair of tongs that doubles as a locking mechanism for the wheel. We think Don Draper would approve.

How to make eggnog and mix into 6 cocktail recipes
A guide on how to mix and enjoy this holiday classic
Homemade eggnog

With the holiday season upon us, now is the time for cozy festive drinks like eggnog. While most of my experiences with this drink have been slightly underwhelming, using pre-made eggnog from the store, the experience of occasionally enjoying fresh homemade nog has changed my mind about this completely. In my experience it's well worth it make your own at home, and once you have it ready you can mix eggnog into cocktails for yourself and your guests. If you haven't made it before, don't worry -- it's easy to do at home and requires common ingredients you'll find in any store.

According to Tyson Buhler of the renowned bar Death & Co, you can make your eggnog even more memorable by aging it: "If you have the patience and refrigerator space, let this nog age for a few months, and the flavor and texture will change drastically over time."
