For more than a decade, Tequila Mockingbird—the world’s bestselling literary cocktail recipe book—has endured as a favorite among readers, bartenders, and book lovers alike, celebrated for its clever commentary on some of history’s most beloved books. This expanded edition builds on that legacy with a newly updated introduction, refined drink recipes, and more than 70 cocktails, mocktails, and bar snacks, including 15 new recipes and 7 original illustrations that are available exclusively in this revised edition.
Don’t worry if you snoozed your way through Comp Lit. Think of this recipe guide as SparkNotes with a liquor license, trading out pop quizzes for popped corks. For all you mixologists and cosmo connoisseurs out there, we’re serving up your favorite recipes with a smart new twist. You’ve gotta have something to talk about behind the bar—why not raise the level of banter by brushing up on your Brontë?
Let’s get a little stupid and look a little smart. Even if you don’t have a B.A. in English, tonight you’re gonna drink like you do. Recipes include:
- Big Little Limes
- Are You There God? It’s Me, Margarita
- The Other Cognac Girl
- Gin Eyre
- Call Me by Your Nectarine
- The Hand-Mule's Tale

"It's a little-known fact that the information in here will make anyone look and sound better than they actually do"
-David Baldacci
"...this is a wonderfully entertaining read, slight enough to be digested in one sitting, clever enough to be entertaining even if you never make a single one of the cocktails."
-World of Beer blog
"Tequila Mockingbird is a refreshing reminder that drinking is supposed to be fun, and it brings together the kind of cocktails you'll actually make into a book you'll actually use."
-DrinkSpirits.com
"You've never seen so many literary inside jokes in your whole life, which makes this little cookbook my new favorite thing... The commentary is hilarious, to boot."
-FoodRiot
"Ingredient by ingredient I became a fan of the ersatz bartending guide for English majors, in which summaries of classic novels and their corresponding recipes are garnished with groan-worthy puns and sepia-toned illustrations. I toast to that!"
-Palm Beach Post
"Pun-tastic cocktail delights . . . peruse it to find your book club's next read (and cocktail)."
