Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches

Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrate reality television star and beloved bartender Ariana Madix’s journey from heartbreak to empowerment with 60 high-drama cocktails that are as strong and inspiring as she is. When Ariana Madix famously discovered her partner was unfaithful, the incident—known as Scandoval—captivated audiences worldwide. She has now reclaimed her power, channeling her pain into a resounding statement of strength and resilience in Single AF Cocktails , a collection of alluring drinks that follow the trajectory of a relationship that starts beautifully but ends in disaster. The newly solo Ariana serves up her own recipes and perspective in a unique exploration of the stages of a doomed relationship. In her own words, Ariana takes back the narrative of her very public breakup while inspiring others to find inner strength in their own troubles. Each drink tells part of the story from her point of view, from when she first met her ex, through the insidious affair and its painful aftermath, and to her present state, coming out the other side, stronger than before. Cleverly categorized into relationship-inspired sections—Honeymoon Phase, Betrayal, Devastation, Resilience, and Ad Astra— Single AF Cocktails offers a range of boozy concoctions for whatever your mood, from when you feel like burning it all down to when it’s time to rally your ride-or-die squad. You’ll find recipes like Rumors, with dark crème de cassis that floats on top of the drink before bleeding into the spirits below, the way lies may find their way into your relationship, or We Ride at Dawn, a big, bold mezcal margarita that’s equal parts power and healing. Full of stunning, powerful photography and never-before-told stories, Single AF Cocktails is a singular experience for the reader as they ride the rollercoaster of Ariana’s story alongside her. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Ariana’s world, Single AF Cocktails promises a captivating and cathartic experience for all. Review: Beautifully shot, delicious recipes with some tea sprinkled throughout! - I ordered this book out of empathy. Forgot about it. Then it arrived and I was blown away by the quality, the great recipes and the tid bits sprinkled throughout. Great gift idea or throw a break up party and serve some of these drinks. Or just have a party and serve them with no tie in. They are delish regardless. Blown away by how good this was. Review: TEAM ARIANA!!! - I’m so happy I got my hands on Ariana’s newest cocktail book!! Do I make cocktails at home? No. Will I? No. Do I support Ariana? YES!! I got this book to support my girl and to read all the stories (though I’ve been an ongoing fan of hers since the beginning of her time on VPR.) Fun fact: a great friend of mine worked as a hair&makeup artist for Bravo and VPR the first 4-5 seasons of the show and had nothing but great things to say about Ariana since she first met her. I am not much of a drinker but I wanted to support her and am actually going to buy a second copy to give as a gift because it’s on sale now!! The pictures are really vivid and gorgeous. I also love all the stories throughout. I’m only to page 33 but I love it!!! Great little coffee table book for sure. Only thing I regret is not getting it BEFORE I went to New York to watch her in Chicago on Broadway a few weeks ago ☹️ so I could have her sign it.
