Women's Libation! by Merrily Grashin

"Finally, a celebration of strong women and strong cocktails! Lovingly hand-drawn and deliciously punny, Merrily Grashin's collection of enhanced classic cocktails and original artwork is a tribute to women--like Grashin herself--who inspire us to break all the rules."--Stephanie Danler, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter

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.

Merrily Grashin is an illustrator and bartender living in Brooklyn. Her business, Greet'n'Potatoes, produces letter-pressed cards and prints featuring food- and beverage-themed illustrations and groan-worthy jokes. She received her BA from NYU's Gallatin School with a concentration in Community Activism & Political Art Theory. Merrily got her first job bussing tables at 15 and has since worked in restaurants and bars across New York, from Bar Boulud on the Upper West Side to Roberta's Pizza in Bushwick.
