Raise a glass to Tequila Mockingbird, the bestselling literary cocktail guide pairing iconic novels with classic and cutting-edge drink recipes—no English degree required.

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.
