Issue 06

Eric Prum and Josh Williams, the two vintage kitchenware and cocktail enthusiasts running W&P Design, in Bushwick, Brooklyn put their MacGyver cocktail tools aside and launched the Mason Shaker in 2012, a product they brought to market thanks to the success of their Kickstarter campaign.

“The Mason jar is symbolic of making and doing in America. Its metric and imperial measurements are incredibly useful and it happens to be a tough and great piece of glassware” says Eric. To complement their cocktail shaker, Eric and Josh recently self-published, Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails.  The book features 30 seasonal recipes, such as a Rosemary Maple bourbon cocktail, with plenty of beverage photography to inspire your next party.
