What is Booktails?
It is a series where I invent a cocktail based on a book, pulling inspiration from food & drinks that are mentioned, characters, setting, and plot. Each drink is entirely crafted to remind you of the book and is created from by me. (Unless otherwise stated)
How do I choose what books to feature?
There are really 23ways this happens. The first, the book really screams at me for a cocktail. An example of this is The Sword of Kaigen - by halfway through I knew I'd be creating a cocktail as it had mentioned Sake. The second way is that I truly love a book. Sometimes a book wont scream a cocktail at me, but I love the book so much I will find a way to invent one for it. An example of this is The Martial. While I don't think the book screamed cocktail, I did love the book. Plus, once I decided to create one ideas started flowing. The third & final way is an author reached out to me. I offer authors to sponsor an episode where I create a cocktail & feature their novel in a Booktails episode.
I'm an Author, can you use my book?
Yes! I would be delighted to use your novel in this series. Please contact me and let me know your book title and the genre it's in. From there I will message you with a proposal.
I have an idea for Booktails, should I send it to you?
You are more than welcome to send them to me! I love receiving ideas & suggestions for this series. If you have a complete cocktail for a book and want to send it to me you are more than welcome to and I will, of course, credit you for the recipe.
How often will there be a new episode?
My goal is to make this a weekly series. Each episode will drop at 1PM (PST) on Saturday's. That way you can try them out Saturday evening or Sunday, before you start your work week.
How can we get the recipes?
The full recipe for each cocktail will be in the caption of the video I post to both TikTok & instagram, as well as the post on Instagram. I will also post the recipe & inspiration for the cocktail to my blog. One idea I have for later down the road is to make a book with all the cocktail recipes I use... But that wouldn't be for several months - if ever.
