Women's Libation

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).

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. 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
