    • Great Book

    • This is the perfect book for your best friend with an English degree they never use.
This may be my favorite purchase on Amazon. If you already know how to make drinks, it’s an absolute breeze to follow the brief recipes (they are brief but I got this book for all the literary puns). If you don’t know how to mix very well, that’s okay! It’s all trial and error anyways (google is a great friend). Not every cocktail will have a picture, and in fact, the pictures are beautiful illustrations that don’t show you what the drink will look like. The illustrations are funny and beautifully drawn. Note that the book is small, maybe a little smaller than you may think. That being said, I prefer the size because it’s a dainty addition to your bar cart or counter. The only issue I’ve found is that the pages are rather stiff and one of the corners was slightly dented. All I know is that this book is a little over 7 dollars and is a perfect gift for yourself or other English nerds ... show more

    • Best gift for a "FANCY" friend!
I purchased book for a gift for the "person who has everything, and can buy whatever they want". I got a phone call, a picture text and a voicemail full of laughter and happiness when they opened this gift from me, and said it was the best gift ever and would be the star of every party they host from now on! It's funny, pretty and full of great anecdotes and of course, cocktail recipes! ... show more

    • Just what I needed.
This will not be the most informative review, so move on. The book was in good shape and you get what you see. My older sister is a Liberal Arts Major, and I thought this would be the perfect gift for her 21st. She loved it and showed it to all of her college friends. As for the actual drinks, I’m sorry but you’ll have to move to another review. ... 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).

    • Fun but daunting as a beginner.
This was entertaining and well written. There's a mix of recipes in terms of amount (from 2-4 drinks in a recipe to 6-10 drinks in a recipe), so it's ideal for the single person wanting cocktails to make with a friend or two to someone who likes to entertain larger groups of friends. I will say that as total beginners (we only owned vodka for the occasional white russian), this can be a little daunting. We're slowly working our way up in terms of alcohol assortment and mixers by trying the simplest recipes, but most of the recipes would be easier for someone who already has a few different types of alcohol and largely just needs to buy mix-ins. ... show more

    • Packed with creative recipes and clever puns!

As a huge fan of birds, puns, and the novel referenced in the title, I fell in love with this book the second I laid eyes on it, but I bought it for my father-in-law instead because I don't often drink Tequila. That said, many of these creative recipes sound downright delicious, even to me. Some are a bit fancier than others and would require some planning ahead, but plenty can be whipped up quickly from common ingredients. I've especially enjoyed perusing the clever drink names. Each one is a pun on a classic work of literature, and many have made me laugh out loud. Drankenstein was a particular favorite. The whole book is delightfully humorous, and the layout is thoughtfully done as well. It's really a joy to look through. There are pictures and other sorts of content mixed in to keep things fresh throughout, including some drinking game suggestions. To top it off, the book has a nice hardback cover and sturdy pages. I'm super pleased with the quality, especially for the price. It's going to make a fantastic gift. ... show more
