This is a book co-written with an extraordinary mixologist, James Mason of Central New York. I have observed his skills over the past ten years learning about his Newfoundland roots. James not only mixes drinks, but he mixes music too- as a Disc Jockey. He is quiet and unassuming, giving another meaning to that famous product known as the "Bar Keeper's Friend". James concocts drinks to celebrate every occasion and he mimics the flavors of your favorite desserts in some of them. People flock to the Olive Garden in New Hartford, New York just to have James serve them up a cocktail because in addition to making a great drink, James is trustworthy and a real listener. In this book, "We'll Muddle Through", you will learn the tools of the trade along with some classic recipes for cocktails. You will also learn about the history and resilience of the Newfoundlanders - James's heritage.
