The perfect mix of punny humor, feminist verve, and practical instruction, Women´s Libation! is a cocktail guide for the lady who likes to shake things up (and not just her martinis). In it, Brooklyn-based illustrator and long-time bartender Merrily Grashin toasts the feminist heroes who´ve come before us and the social movements that have helped shape us, honoring each with a delicious, imaginative cocktail. Beautifully appointed in a paper-over-board package with two-color interiors, each spread features an original illustration for every boozy beverage and a brief reflection on the historical figure, event, or movement in women´s history on which the drink is based. With new twists on classic cocktails as well as inventive new libations, Grashin´s recipes will educate you as you imbibe, including such gems as:
- Joan of Arc & Stormy
- Vermouth Bader Ginsberg
- Emma Gold-Manhattan
- Rosé the Riveter
- Simone de Boulevardier
- Margaret Sanger-ia
Featuring 75 recipes that even the novice bartender can make at home, Women´s Libation! is the perfect host gift to share at a party or to give to a feminist friend in need of some cheer.
