Suggestions and tips

Sure! I'll be posting some more videos of Keith making a mojito and a Puffin martini, so watch for those in the next few weeks! Also, for recipe information you can visit the recipe forum at adn.com/spiritsblog, or just shoot a comment to Keith about using pomegranate juice in a cocktail. Good luck! If you get a good recipe, post it online so we can all share in the yumminess. ;)
