About Adam Lantheaume
Adam Lantheaume is the proprietor of The Boston Shaker in Somerville, MA. One of his goals is to provide information, tools and ingredients to experienced and novice home bartenders in a comfortable, non-intimidating way. He believes that too often folks shy away from making cocktails for themselves and their guests because it feels overly-complicated or cumbersome, but just like cooking, a little experience goes a long way and in no time people can be treating themselves to their favorite cocktails. It's about enjoying the preparation as much as one would enjoy the final product. To learn more about Adam and The Boston Shaker, visit www.thebostonshaker.com
