Can’t wait to find a reason to repurpose my holiday decor for a strand or three of these paper cube lights! Amanda has a phenomenally detailed tutorial showing us all how to make it happen. I’m seeing a fall picnic on a future evening…

If my weaknesses for cocktails, illustrations, and cookbooks all got together and had a baby (don’t think about it too hard) it would come out as this book.
An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails, by Orr Shtuhl and Elizabeth Graeber, tells the tales of the heyday of cocktails, from the origin of the margarita to the grandeur of the first celebrity bartender with some modern twists. Along the way, this fun, handheld guide is dabbled with beautiful illustrations and, of course, recipes.

I love both the look and the principle behind this set of whiskey stone shot glasses. Stick them in the freezer and they take on the same qualities as a whiskey stone, keeping things cold without watering down or compromising their taste. (via Liquorious)

Musical glasses are meant to be played. The graphics are musical notations marking to the level of liquid in the glass that will produce the correct note when the users finger runs around the rim of the glass. Perfect for a dinner party or solo entertainment. (via bltd)

Drinks with “extras” in them – think mojitos, bloody marys, etc. – require a stirrer that’s sturdy. Not a wimpy little plastic thing or a precious spear of glass. These bamboo stirrers are serious and perfect for the job.
