Gin Austen
Gin Austen: 50 Cocktails to Celebrate the Novels of Jane Austen | Colleen Mullaney
19 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of this good book must be in want of a drink--and every cocktail, from the Elinorage Blossom to the Fizzy Miss Lizzie, takes inspiration from one of Jane Austen's beloved novels. Including flips, punches, slings, and sours, these 50 recipes evoke the past but suit today's tastes. Brimming with quotes, photographs, and period design, this intoxicating volume is a must-have for devoted Janeites. Recipes include Hot Barton Rum * Just a Dashwood * Cousin Collins * Gin & Bennet * Salt & Pemberley * Bloody Elliot * Catherine Wall Banger * Hand in the Tilney * Life's Not Fairfax * Strike It Richmond * Sussex on the Beach

This is a fun book that divides the drinks by Jane Austen‘s six books and gives them crafty names. Some of the Pride and Prejudice mixed drinks sounded delicious!

You don‘t have to be #rich to entertain like it‘s the 19th century or like it‘s the setting of a Jane Austen novel. The cocktails presented in this book are inspired by Austen‘s works, with quirky names that celebrate the characters and situations. Also included is a brief bio of Jane, a history of Georgian drinks, and the recommended barware for the perfect party. #200PnPCovers

In honor of Catherine's First Night at the Abbey tonight's cocktail is a Dark & Stormy Night. Traditionally made with Gosling's Black Rum & garnished w/Lime. Made w/ Cayman Reef Black Rum. It's what Himself had. He's the Rum drinker. Had fresh Lime Juice in the fridge because earlier this week I sqoze limes that we're about to go North. None for garnish & went w/ Orange Slice. Recipe below. 🌩

Important decision has been made. What to drink with tonight's #Pemberlittens Sense and Sensibility Zoom Watch Party. 🥃🖥🥳
@sprainedbrain

sprainedbrain Omg perfect! 4y
CaramelLunacy Now I am incredibly intrigued by cocktails for other characters: something rum-based for Captain Wentworth, grog maybe? A dark and stormy for Catherine Morland? Something with bubbles for Lizzie's sparkling wit? 4y

Happy Friday! What‘s everyone drinking this weekend?? I‘ve been experimenting with the drinks in my Gin Austen cocktail book. This one is called Short and Longbourn (get it? Pride and Prejudice? 😉). We had to tweak it a bit because we did not have grapefruit juice but it was still delicious!

I do believe Jane would love all the cocktails in this book. Myself I was particularly delighted with way drinks were grouped together by Jane's books.🍹🍸🍷

In honor of Sense and Sensibility - Just a Dashwood cocktail. "Carefully administer the dashes, one for each sister." Sadly my Angostura dashes just went flat. Drink still tastes yummy. ?

Happy Friday! We kick off the Weekend with the Jane's Addiction Cocktail. Gin and Pomegranate Juice, Splash of Lime, and Topped with Pink Bubbles. Sadly I didn't have any Raspberries to Garnish; but I can as the book says "ponder Jane's Love of Love. Tastes a bit like a grown up Hawaiian Punch.???

Tonight's Cocktail is the Gin Austen from book of same name. It's refreshing mix of Gin, Lillet, Orange Bitters, Sage, and Lemon.
Nice use of fresh Sage leaves in the Summer. 🍸

Welcome the Weekend! A little something extra for #austeninaugust2019. I'll be trying several of the recipes in Gin Austen. We start with my favorite character Elizabeth Bennett's cocktail The Fizzy Miss Lizzie. It's refreshing and effervescent. 🍾🍾🍾
