A Woman's Drink: Bold Recipes for Bold Women

Description

A Woman's Drink is a chic and empowered approach to mixing drinks in style. Filled with beautiful cocktails and favourite drinks from notable women (activists, authors, musicians and others), this book celebrates a new cocktail culture that's distinctly and unapologetically feminine. From the owners of trendy Brooklyn bars Elsa and Ramona, A Woman's Drink reflects a burgeoning scene where dark speakeasy dens are giving way to joyful inclusive spaces where everyone feels comfortable. Featuring 50 mixed drinks, including classics, such as Cosmos and Old Fashioneds, and new spins, such as Elderflower Bellinis, the cocktails in this book are strong, sweet, bitter, sour, and bold-just like the women who drink them.

She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two daughters. Scott Schneider is the co-owner of Elsa and Ramona and oversees the cocktail program at both bars. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.

"Authors Natalka Burian and Scott Schneider run New York's popular Elsa and Ramona bars, and this book covers all the basics (old-fashioneds, negronis, sangria), but it manages to stand out from the pack with recipes that tweak classic ideas just enough to keep things exciting." -- New York Magazine
