Books Are Better With a Cocktail

Book clubs have become wildly popular in the last few years, and while discussing great literature is always stimulating, for some of us, it's also a great excuse to get together with friends, talk shop, and unwind.

Speaking of unwinding, being the cocktail therapists we are, we advocate getting as creative as the writers you're discussing: forego the Chardonnay for the following delicious cocktails, perfect for any genre of book (or booze) lover! So, invite your girlfriends over to discuss books and drink up!

Drinks

Close all

Hemingway Daiquiri

If you're reading a classic, you can do no better than imbibing in the spirit of Ernest Hemingway himself! Light rum, cherry and grapefruit make this drink light, sweet and tangy.

Metropolitan

Opting for Chick Lit? Eschew the standard Cosmopolitan (Sex and the City, anyone?) for a classic Metropolitan. Brandy and sweet vermouth are mixed with simple syrup and bitters in this classy cocktail.

a Splash Simple Syrup
2 Dashes Angostura bitters

The Biff

Non-fiction is the furthest from dullsville with this favorite from "Gonzo Journalist" Hunter S. Thompson. Whiskey and Bailey's give this cocktail a kick.
