From the James Beard Award-winning author of Bitters and Amaro comes this poignant, funny, and often elegiac exploration of the question, What is the last thing you'd want to drink before you die?, with bartender profiles, portraits, and cocktail recipes. JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST - WINNER OF THE TALES OF THE COCKTAIL SPIRITED AWARD(R) - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE Everyone knows the parlor game question asked of every chef and food personality in countless interviews: What is the last meal you'd want to eat before you die? But what does it look like when you pose the question to bartenders? In Last Call, James Beard Award-winning author Brad Thomas Parsons gathers the intriguing responses from a diverse range of bartenders around the country, including Guido Martelli at the Palizzi Social Club in Philadelphia (he chooses an extra-dry Martini), Joseph Stinchcomb at Saint Leo in Oxford, Mississippi (he picks the Last Word, a pre-Prohibition-era cocktail that's now a cult favorite), and Natasha David at Nitecap in New York City (she would be sipping an extra-salty Margarita). The resulting interviews and essays reveal a personal portrait of some of the country's top bartenders and their favorite drinks, while over 40 cocktail recipes and stunning photography make this a keepsake for barflies and cocktail enthusiasts of all stripes. Praise for Last Call " Parsons] captures the people and places through stunning photographs and prose. Like a perfectly balanced cocktail, it is equal parts cocktail recipes, travelogue and mixtape."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Measure equal parts travelogue, tell-all, discography, and cocktail companion--in service of an obituary of all patrons--and you have Last Call; Brad Thomas Parsons's best book yet. Through soulful photos and gritty interviews, he and photographer Ed Anderson capture the rawness, vulnerability, and ecstasy of the metamorphosis between the end of a guest's night and the beginning of a bartender's."--Jim Meehan, author of Meehan's Bartender Manual and The PDT Cocktail Book "This book is a delight. Last Call shows us the sense of community evoked by bartenders across the country, whose wisdom and tenderness are captured here both in words and beautiful photographs. It made me--an erstwhile bartender and faithful customer--happy to remember that we all have nights when we unexpectedly hear the words 'last call, ' and that noble and fascinating bartenders are out there waiting to share it with us."--Alan CummingBinding Type: Hardcover

Works great but oily & messy
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
Works great. You look tanner as soon as you put it on. Very oily and messy. Can leak out of lid even when lid looks closed.

This product is all you need
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
I am a year round tanner but use this on vacations. Recently I had surgery and had to stop tanning, 2 months in of no sun or tanning bed exposure I was looking pasty. Summer just hit and I spent 3 days sunbathing for about 60-80 minutes and got a solid beautiful tan! I have olive skin that tans well, although I didn't burn at all I recommended monitoring the time you spend in the sun and maybe wear sunscreen as a base.
The brush is nice but I find I needed to use a lot more product vs when I apply with my hands. I do intend on using the brush if I ever need to apply a spray tan.

Great item, poor packaging.
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush, Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
I love this product, but the last bottle I received had a crack in the bottle and made a total mess of everything. To return it, I had to send back the leaking bottle that had already made a terrible mess on my counter and table and I threw it away.

This stuff WORKS!
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush, Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
My legs hardly ever tan— I get a nice even tan on my arms and chest but can never get a nice tan on my legs— this stuff is magic. I used the brush to evenly coat my legs, sat out for about 20-30 minutes and by the next day my legs were darrrrkkk! The texture is smooth- goes on and is kinda oily but it does a great job at moisturizing too. The smell is pretty mild compared to other tanning solutions. I love this product and have recommended to all my friends whose legs don’t tan well. 😊 ♥️ ♥️
