Product Watch: Fun With Swizzle Sticks

You too can be a bar chef in your very own kitchen thanks to a slew of mixology products entering the market. I recently noticed these sugar cane swizzle sticks at the P Street Whole Foods. They're vacuum-packed to seal in the juice.

Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt.
