Welcome to A Lush Life Manual. I am Susan L. Schwartz and I will be your host as we travel the globe to taste the best drinks out there. My goal is to join you while we discover the soul of the beverage and why it is linked to a certain time and place, as well as making and sipping some of the simplest and most complex cocktails the world has to offer. It's a How-To guide for living life one cocktail at a time!
