Acknowledgments
First and foremost, huge thanks to Edward Cross, who is not only my
husband, but also my editor, business manager, resident bartender,
photo stylist extraordinaire, and all-around partner in crime. I couldn’t
have done this without you.
Thanks to the good folks from SeeMyDrink.com for the equipment
loan and expert photography advice. May your business be wildly
successful!
Thanks to Andrea Hakanson, my editor at Adams, for all the input,
support, and quick responses to my rapid-fire e-mails.
Thanks to my friends and tasting crew here in Salem, who gave me
some wild flavor ideas and valiantly sampled their way through the
good, the bad, and the ugly as I developed recipes. For my two favorite
Vikings, I owe you a couple of quarts of mead ice cream. Thanks
especially to a mischievous pair of little black kittens, who dragged me
to the ocean, took me to the tavern for drinks, and indulged in late-night
omelet dinners and cartoons when I needed to take a break.
Thanks to Cassie Bagshaw, Kristyn Ferretti, Kristin Green, Nicole
Knobloch, Lori Levin, Teresa Niedzwiecki, Jennifer Novak, Christina
Poteet, Kate Vassos—and all of The Hungry Mouse’s readers and
Facebook fans—for the cocktail inspiration. You guys may just have a
second career in bartending. (Well, except for Terri. You’re already the
best bartender in Boston.) Thanks to David Zubkoff, John Colbert, and
Julie de Chantal for just generally being awesome.
Last but not least, extra special thanks to Lori Bruno, who saw this
coming and who helped me find the will inside to get it done. Your
support and encouragement mean the world to me.
I love you guys. May your homes always be filled with happiness. May
your cups always be full.
