Adorable and Punny, but With a Weird Classification System
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
Love the recipes and the variety of simple, complex, sweet, tart, bitter etc. The literary puns were spot-on, and I liked the idea that the drink could match both the themes at work in the story and sometimes even the literary criticism surrounding the novel. The suggested games at the end were very funny and the illustrations added to the whole presentation. My only complaint was the way the cocktails were arranged into male-female categories. Really? Couldn 't they be grouped by flavor, literary ingredient, main alcoholic genre, publication date? Not only was having two categories unhelpful in terms of finding drinks, it is a little insulting to divide drinks by sex. In all, it was a beautiful book, and I can overlook the classification for most of the time.

Bought as a gift for my coworker, who is an English teacher. If you know anything about English teachers, you know that they love literature and they love to drink.

Not as clever as I wanted it to be
Derived From Web , Jun 27, 2019
My expectations were probably too high ; what I was hoping for was less just pun-names on drinks and more drinks made with an understanding of and deep love for literature. I was yearning for something like the Cherry Poppins to contain more British-based liquors with a flavor associated with the story itself. Basically, I wanted more than puns, which is abundant in this book. It would have been cool for someone who spent more time reading and analyzing literature, and a mixologist to be involved in the making of this instead of just renaming a bunch of existing cocktails with cute names.

Super punny recipe book.
Derived From Web , Jun 25, 2019
A book of punny cocktail recipes. Each recipe is dedicated to a great work with a small description of the book or the author and a recipe for a cocktail. The recipes range from imaginative to quite standard using even aquafaba. I bought this for the bar in our Living Room, which is themed for our favorite books and films. This is accompanied by Are You There God? It's me, Margarita and Gone With the Gin. Overall, it is a really great collection and addition to our themed room!

A White Elephant Must!
Derived From Web , Apr 16, 2019
Bought this and another cocktail book as my White Elephant Gift. The poor gift was stolen and pronounced dead the second time the game started! The friend who did not end up with it ended up ordering a copy for herself! Since then, we have tried the cocktails and are a delight!

Fun and neat book
Derived From Web , Jan 8, 2019
My daughter-in-law really liked this book. She thought it was funny. As a high school teacher, she thought it was cute, too. It is a handheld book with quite a few varieties of drinks in it with alcohol that is not hard to find in the store.
