In February, star drink influencer Hannah Chamberlain launched her first cocktail book, How to Be a Better Drinker: Cocktail Recipes and Boozy Etiquette. The book is filled with fresh spins on classic drinks, including a Margarita/Paloma mashup and an Espresso Martini with Guinness syrup. Also included is advice like “How to Treat Your Bartender” and “Seven Virtues of Good Guests,” the boozy etiquette promised in the title.

“[Hannah Chamberlain] released How to Be a Better Drinker, a beautifully photographed drinker’s manual combining cocktail recipes with practical advice, etiquette on being a host and a guest, and no shortage of witty asides or coy references. Throughout it, her personal voice shines through, whether it’s in the description of a Funyuns-infused martini or musings on how best to remove a houseguest who has overstayed their welcome.”

“How To Be a Better Drinker [is] a handy and funny drinking tome that offers home bartenders and drinks enthusiasts tips on making better cocktails and, more importantly, drinking etiquette.”

“A scroll through her page will show a collection of unique vintage glassware and gorgeous drink recipes that are easy to follow, so it’s no wonder her profile has received over 10.3 million likes. On her page, she shares videos to help TikTok users upgrade their cocktails and host with ease.”
