Women's Libation!: Cocktails to Celebrate a Woman's Right to Booze
by Merrily Grashin - Humor, Nonfiction

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.
