    • 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. ... show more

    • Bartender Rating: Top Shelf
Provided by: The Book Bar.co 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. Federle, Tim (2013-04-23).

This was a cute book and used for a white elephant gift. Drink names and illustrations were hilarious. The cover was gorgeous and looked very high end. I can't speak for the drinks themselves, but the recipes looked good. I would have given it five stars except for the quality of the book binding. The pages were not cut correctly (they did not sit flush with each other) and this made it hard to flip through. ... show more

    • Literary puns meet liquor...
If you are an unabashed (library) card-carrying bibliophile with a penchant for puns than "Tequila Mockingbird" is the book for you. Clever, witty, tongue-in-cheek and just plain spit out your cocktail funny, it is a must for every drink and book lover (or if you’re a grad student it is just one in the same)'s bookshelf. Never again shall you fear trying to throw a book themed party for your erudite friends. Added bonus, for those who don’t imbibe, there are also some handy mocktail and nosh recipes thrown in. Anyone for “The Phantom Tolljuice” and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonder Bread”? The book is laid out as follows: -Tools/Techniques/Terms (also note the handy metric conversions at the end) -Drinks for Dames -Gulps for Guys **And here I will note my only compliant—the two are most definitely not mutually exclusive (neither in liquor nor literature), but I guess it is humorous that someone thinks they are… -Bevvies for Book Clubs (“The Pitcher of Dorian Grey Goose” LMAO) -Refreshments for Recovering Readers (non-alcoholic) -Bar Bites for Book Hounds -Bonus! Games for Geeks (I thought I was a bookworm until I read these, now I realize I’m a philistine) My favorite game by far involves sneaking into a library, booze, and a card catalogue…the rest dear reader is for you to discover. While I cannot promise that these recipes will go down well en masse or that they all taste as great as their titles, I can say with certainty that this book will have you in stitches for hours. 4.5 Stars but lets go with 5, because PUNS! ... show more
