This cocktail is not in the tagged book, and isn't inspired by the pictured book, which just happens to be what I'm reading while drinking, so there's no real bookish justification for this post ??‍♂️
Anyway, it's inspired from the Karen's Diner menu, where Mrs B thinks she would fit right in as a member of staff: Vodka, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Apple Juice, known as an "Are You Taking the Piss". Sweet, sharp and fruity, just like Mrs B! ??

One of my vacation purchases, this is a fun little book, filled with synopses of classic novels, short stories, and plays, paired with (mostly) alcoholic drinks. The drink names are punny and there are several that I found tempting. My only complaints are the frequently sexist language and the fact that many of the summaries contain spoilers. Maybe borrow before buying to see if any of the recipes appeal to you.

MrsMalaprop I‘ve seen this one around. I made a ‘Lolita‘ for our Friday night cocktail last night. Wonder if that‘s in there? 1y
kspenmoll I have this too- it‘s fun! 1y

Fancying a can of dandelion and burdock on my walk home from the shops, I realised that there are no cocktails featuring this iconic Northern tonic. Naturally, this called for a taste test to determine what base liquor might best match the distinctive flavour of D&B. I'm only ruling out gin on this first round, but don't have the stamina to take my research further in this session.

Made “A Midsummer Night‘s Beam” today since I finished A Midsummer Night‘s Dream the other day 😜

Tianarose This looks delish! What‘s in it, if you don‘t mind me asking. 3y
MatchlessMarie @Tianarose 8 sprigs of mint muddled with 1/2 an oz of lime juice and 2 tsp of sugar at the bottom of the glass. Add ice and 2 oz of bourbon and fill with club soda. It called for 12 oz but my bottle was 10 and it wasn‘t too strong. Very refreshing! 3y
SamAnne Ooh a less deadly and more refreshing version of a mint julep. Will have to try. 3y

My sister got me this fun book of literary-themed cocktails for Christmas and I just had to try it out. This one is mint, club soda, bourbon, and lime juice, inspired by Shakespeare! The names of the cocktails are the best part. They are so clever! This would be such a fun book for a book club. I‘d love to make a new drink for each get together to try with a group.

ChasingOm I have this book too! 3y

Sharing a recent selfie for this week‘s #friyayintro!

Some facts about my selfie:
1) Taken in my bathroom.
2) Taken while drunk as a skunk (off of two glasses of red wine).
#basic 😅

Also:
3) It was November 10th, my (late) grandmother‘s birthday. I‘m rocking red lipstick in her honor, as she never left the house without it.
4) I never seem to remember to put lotion on my hands in the Winter, so my knuckles are also a becoming shade of red. ❤️

AmyG So pretty. And I chuckled. My Mom was the same way. She wouldn‘t get the morning paper without her lipstick on. 🤣 (edited) 5y

It‘s like my boss was hiring friends for me. 😆 Took all the guesswork out of making them on my own, lol. Bookstore people are the best people!). 5y

The conception is somewhat better than the execution. The cocktail recipes are fine, but the accompanying text about the literary works is slight and rather vapid. That said, I will be drinking my way through it over time, and it does look nice as a novelty item, I just wish Federle had taken his idea a little more seriously. 3/5🌟
