Great gift, interesting cocktails brilliantly paired with classic literature

My son gave me the original book a number of years ago, and i love it. I bought this anniversary edition for several friends, who have really enjoyed it. This is the perfect "hostess" gift - something unique. It is also ideal gift for friends who enjoy cocktails and are readers or those who have a bar in their home. I have gifted 10 or so of these books & those i given one to are still talking about the book and thanking me. Book is filled with unusual cocktails, cleverly paired with literature classics. Fun to make cocktails and/or just enjoy reading.

Take note book clubs, fans of classic literature, people who like getting wasted on a Wednesday. Tim Federle has managed to mingle the two most important elements in my life (well, right up there with life, love, family & friends); drinks & a good read.

I grabbed the book and really had no idea what to expect. Was it a book about books? Was it a book about drinks? Didn't matter. It had an excellent title and awesome cover art.

So grab a glass, already. Let's get a little stupid and look a little smart. Even if you don't have a BA in English, tonight you're gonna drink like you do.
Federle, Tim (2013-04-23). Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist (Kindle Locations 152-153). Running Press. Kindle Edition.

So as I was standing in a 2 hour long line to get my kids into the latest mini build at our local Lego store when I started this magnificent journey through memories of reads from the past (required reads) and drinks yet to be enjoyed. I laughed out loud, much to the chagrin of my fellow line loiterers, and I think I dog-eared (technically speaking, that little blue life-saver on Kindle) pretty much every single dink mentioned.

(LOVE IN THE TIME OF KAHLÚA; LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA (1985) BY GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ)

Never settle . . . even for a doctor . . . with a hot accent. Otherwise, you could go a half-century till you find the real thing. In Márquez's version of romance, the zipper-straining desire of a trio of lovebirds is practically an illness, eating his characters from the inside out.
Federle, Tim (2013-04-23). Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist (Kindle Locations 338-340). Running Press. Kindle Edition.

I don't know if Federle approached every classical book he could summarize and paired it with a drink or got sloshed on a drink a night and paraphrased a book he grabbed off the shelf and conjoined the two. I wish I had this capability. No wait... I do, kinda, every Friday on this blog. Anywho, I would be one/eleventy-hundredth the brilliant mind as Tim if I could stop testing these drinks and reread/'buy now with 1-click' the books he references.

(A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S BEAM; A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM (CIRCA 1600) BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)

Take two parts Ren Faire and one part Greek mythology, add a liberal dash of forest-dwelling nymphs, and you've got Shakespeare's whimsical meditation on love and lunacy. An amateur might toast this oft-produced play with two melatonin and a gulp of cough syrup, but Lord, only a foolish mortal would try that-- this is a dream, not a blackout. You'll want to stay upright, if drowsily so, for a light, vegetation-heavy drink that will keep you skimming all five acts before a proper fairy-blessed slumber. You might just wake up in love..
Federle, Tim (2013-04-23). Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist (Kindle Locations 489-495). Running Press. Kindle Edition.

Seriously, Tim, if you are reading this, you are missing some major monetizing opportunities. You need to hyperlink these referenced books to Amazon for instant satisfaction and one/eleventy-hundredth percent of the sale!

If you not a fan of classical books, then the drinks are awesome. If you not a fan of drinks, what the hell are you doing on this blog? Federle will ease any fears you may have about concocting a concoction with the well thought-out index of materials and ingredients. Ingredients sound too expensive? What are you going to do with a bottle elderflower liqueur when you only need 1 ounce? Bartender Jen (Gin) suggest getting those little sample bottles they sell at her house of worship, Total Wine & More.

JIGGER: For small liquid measurements. A metal hourglass shape, available in a variety of sizes. We prefer the 1-ounce-over-1 ½-ounce model-- but you should up the dosage if you're trying to get through Anna Karenina. And just drink straight from the bottle if you're attempting Walden.
Federle, Tim (2013-04-23). Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist (Kindle Locations 190-192). Running Press. Kindle Edition.

Have this book on hand for great party starters. You can whip up the majority of these drinks with ease and have a fantastic conversation starter as you plagiarize the awesome quotes from this book.

Disclaimer: Please drink responsibly. This book is intended for people 21 years and over who know the difference between Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume.

This will not be the most informative review, so move on. The book was in good shape and you get what you see. My older sister is a Liberal Arts Major, and I thought this would be the perfect gift for her 21st. She loved it and showed it to all of her college friends. As for the actual drinks, I’m sorry but you’ll have to move to another review.
