Book Nerd Party Drinks (Alaska edition #BookLush)

Those long, dark Alaskan winters create a glorious environment for fine reading and drinking. Not so long ago, I was lucky enough to be invited up to Alaska by Book Lush supporter Mainon Schwartz. At a fabulous party Mainon hosted for the Anchorage Library Foundation and the Wine, Women Words book club, I was tasked with matching drinks to selected books. It's hard work, but some book nerd has to do it. They picked the books, I made the drinks.

I really like people that offer up children's books for me to match with cocktails. These are my people. We even matched a drink with a Nancy Drew book - fabulous! Click the image on the right to download the full cocktail menu as a PDF, or feel free to scroll down to see the individual cocktail recipe cards.


A few specialty item's were pulled from Mainon's impressive stash of quality booze. I took some snaps of the ingredients you might not have on hand. Click the pictures to buy them online. To get the books, click on the individual recipe cards.
